If the Sox lose today they will have a .500 record on the road after 34 games. Road team's winning percentage so far this year has been a historically bad .423.

With 59 games at home and all 18 with the Royals left the Sox are in very good shape.

June is a month where the Sox need to dominate. The schedule is easy and packed with home dates. It gets a more difficult after that and September is fairly brutal. They will not gain on the competition in September so it is imperative that they are in first heading into the last part of the season.

I agree with dolphin, when the calendar hits July 1st we will have a much better idea of whether the Sox are for real and can win this division. If they are a good team then they need to roll thru the month of June

Sox need to make a run this June, hopefully they are at least 10 games over .500 after the month.

Regardless of Mount Guillen's latest eruption after the White Sox latest loss in Tampa Bay Sunday, the Southsiders for some reason have played only 22 home games and have racked up plenty of frequent flyer mileage so far. They need to take out their frustrations on the likes of Kansas City, starting tomorrow. The Royals may have won their last 2, but I thought I heard they lost 12 straight previously, and with a first year sucker, I mean manager in Trey Hillman. The Sox have plenty of home games vs. below .500 teams such as the Royals, Pirates & soon to be former National League Champions in the Rockies at "The Cell" this month. I'll be out there for the game on Father's Day... It's time to bust a move and start stringing a bunch of wins vs. teams that really, really suck!
