Considering what they just did against the Jays and Rangers back 2 back... have to be in the conversation. Gotta get rid of Danks though.

edit- of all time ofc, they are twice as good as the next MLB staff currently.

You'd think if they were the best, national media would be accusing someone of PED's. That's not happening, as far as I know.

They've played like 20 games. I can't imagine a better team ERA in that span to open a season since they lowered the mound. If you take away the Danks starts it would be the best of all time.

I'm sure somebody will look it up. NOBODY CAN SCORE AGAINST THE SOX.

For real, a lot of it is defense. Eaton made a couple more great plays today to rob Toronto of some much needed hits.

Yeah. Eaton is a gold glover if the season ended today.

5 shut outs for the Sox in 22 games. That's amazing.

So, let's take our time before we crown the pitching staff as the best in the world. Orioles and the Red Sox are #3 and #4 -- see how the pitching holds up next week.

I don't understand. This is a Sox thread. I already know people are accusing Jake.

Actually, I think he was referring to Ozzie Guillen Jr.

C'mon. Elmhurst Steve might call multiple shows with the same stupid one-liners, but even he doesn't post them in both baseball sections. I would like to think you are better than that, but you have clearly shown otherwise.

Funny how the Sox getting off to THE best start in MLB brings you out of the woodwork.

You and Rick have both falsely stated this.

The Cubs have a higher winning percentage than the Sox.

To be completely serious, those two pics of Arrieta show nothing. Keep in mind, I'm not the one saying he's absolutely not on PED's - I really don't care... but people who have been on 'roids get huge. Arrieta isn't huge... his arms are lean and muscular. They may have been that way in the first picture too, but he's not wearing a sleeveless shirt. And other types of PED's don't really change a person's physique, necessarily.

I don't really think he's juicing. Ozzie Jr. started the whole thing on Facebook. But the sad thing is that any guy who does well is going to face that accusation. And that's really on the players themselves via the union that represents them and fought so hard against testing. It's hard to feel bad for the target of such accusation.

A-Roid didn't get huge. He pretty much looked the same.

Batting average? How about runs scored? Texas and Toronto are both top five in the league. Not trying to be misleading at all, though huh?

As a neutral observer, I need to point out that leashyourkids was the first to make a reference to a Cubs player in a Sox thread.

I see no direct reference. I was just making an observation.

It's the only math you can use when one team has played two more games than the other.

I was hitting almost .400 with power and average and the White Sox offense was really bad.

I see he started his steroids cover story from day one in the majors. Nice find Inquisitor!
