It Is Time For The Chicago White Sox To Step Up
The Chicago White Sox come into 2010 with a lot of hope and there is no reason for them not to make the playoffs. This is a solid team that is playing in the weakest division in the American League and it is time that they take advantage of that and get back into post season play. Their sub-.500 season of 2009 did now sit well with anyone and they are out to get some glory this season.
All anyone has to do to get excited about this team is to look at the new Ace of the pitching staff. Jake Peavy is in town and people better get used to winning again very quickly. He gave everyone a quick taste last year, but the fans of the Chicago White Sox are about to be treated to seeing one of the best pitchers in baseball every 5ht day.
Peavy started and remained in San Diego his entire career. In that time, he posted 92 wins for a team that could not fight their way out of a paper bag most seasons. Notching 19 wins in 2007 was special and is exactly the type of season that fans can expect to see from him in Chicago. He wants to be there and the team is excited to have him.
Sometimes when a player goes to another team and out of a bad situation they get energized. That is exactly what happened to Peavy at the end of last season as he was unhittable after the trade. Fans just may want to get ready for the Cy Young presentation that may happen at the end of the year.
News that is even better is the fact that Buehrle will be pitching out of the two spot. All he did was throw a perfect game, not too bad for a number two! This starting combo will be extremely hard for opposing teams to match up against and the frustration that hitters are going to experience will send any team into a tailspin.
The early part of the schedule is going to provide Chicago with a chance at a very fast start. While Minnesota won the division last year, they are hardly in the same class as Chicago when they are healthy. Add three more games against Cleveland a 6-0 start is very achievable. Even more important for ticket holders is that they will get to see Peavy twice in that early span of games.
2009 is like the Ghost of Christmas Past as far as this team in concerned. The Sox are going to win a lot of games this year and will be looking to do some damage in the playoffs. With the talent they have, the only luck they are going to need will be in keeping people healthy.
