will the white sox win so many championships that it will be boring?  like the bulls when they were winning.

Highly unlikely, the state of free agency in both MLB and the NBA that it is unlikely to happen in either league.  If it could be done the Yankees would be doing it with the amount of money that Steinbrenner spends every year.

For quality of game, I agree, but for some people, 2 years ago when the redsox's broke "the curse of the bambino", for many people that would be the best ever not only because it was broken, but they came back from a 3-0 deficit against the Yankees, being one out away from losing, and coming back to win 8 games in a row to win the world series would primly be an amazing come back, not as extreme games though.

I think they can win the world series But with Jeff Bagwell out they dont seem to have the continuity to hold it together long term and any starting staff minus Roger Clemens definitely has a challenge ahead of it.

To all those who have answered in the negative, my response is who would of thought that the past five world champions would have been the Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Angels, Florida Marlins, Boston Red Sox, and Chicago White Sox?  Especially when many believed the final two were "cursed" and would never win the championship again.  \n\nIt all boils down to three things.  The first is talent, especially in the areas of pitching and defense.  So far, the Tigers have excelled in both.  If (and that little word can be the biggest in the English language) they keep up both as they have so far, then they are a very serious contender for the championship.  \n\nSecondly is coaching.  Jim Leyland is a proven veteran manager, who has proven he can develop talent and win championships.  He has surrounded himself with an excellent coaching staff, that has the ability to get the most of of the availiable talent the team has.  The Tigers have nothing to worry about in this category.  \n\nThe third is maturity and team focus.  The Tigers have kept an even keil so far, as they have gone about their business.  Pudge Rodriguez is once again offering his veteran leadership, and the addition of Kenny Rogers has not only strengthened their pitching staff what he has done on the field, but also how he has mentored others on the staff off the field to reach their potential.  \n\nDo I think the Tigers will win the World Series?  I will say they definitely have a strong chance to, but it is too early in the season to see if their current success will continue into the heart of the summer, especially when they have to face teams like the Red Sox and Yankees.  The White Sox are the team to beat in their division, and, in there earlier series this year, Chicago showed Detroit why they are the defending World Champs.  If, in August, the Tigers have the same winning percentage that they do now, and have shown they can beat the three previously mentioned teams, then my answer is Yes, I do believe the Tigers will win the World Series.  But, like I said eariler, that little word "if" can be the biggest word in the English language.

Imagine what the managers think about that, now that the All-Star Game actually means home-field advantage in the World Series! THAT'S the ridiculous part, in my opinion. Having to play those "former greats" rather than the more talented but not-as-popular players that didn't make the fans' cut . . . that's gotta be frustrating when the game is on the line. I just hope that we don't start seeing any sacrifice bunts in the All-Star game, just so one team can win. The All-Star game should be a fun game.\n\nThen again . . . seeing Barry Bonds bunt would be fun.

How you say that they don't have enough offense?  Ortiz and Manny will again be dominant.  Beckett and Schilling are lights out.  Their bullpen is solid.  AND, if rumors come true, Clemens would be the final piece of this team.  Even without him, I feel that the Sox are poised to stop the Yankees' run in the AL East.  They also have a great shot at taking the Series this year, too.

The Tigers have a pretty solid team.  They're a little bit young, which could hurt them later in the year.\n\nAlso, they could use another power hitter or two.  They should make things interesting for the White Sox though.

They should improve, but it's going to be tough in the AL Central with both the White Sox and Indians most likely battling for the top spot in the league and the Twins possibly making some noise as well.\n\nUnfortunately, that would leave the Royals and the Tigers fighting for the cellar in the division once again.

Hey I'm a Tigers fan, so please don't ruin this for me.  lol.  The Tigers haven't made the playoffs since 1987 when I was 6 years old.  So even though we all know they are probably going to blow it at the end of the season, at least let us Tiger fans "pretend" that they will win the World Series this year.  I say that before every season, but perhaps this year I may actually be right.

Oh yeah... The Blue Jays have a solid young team and can pick up a few key pieces to the puzzle with the way free agency is set up. I could see them winning in a year or two. And we know it's possible, the Marlins won the World Series 6 years after they were even created. That right there should mean that it is feasible for any decent team to win it in 4.

No, they dont suck.\n\nThey just happen to run into the 2 best teams in MLB right now.\n\nBoth The White Sox and The Tigers are on a mission.\n\nOnly time will tell just how much of a mission The Tigers are really on.\n\nI believe The Tigers are for real, and could take the wild card.\n\nThe White Sox are just too good, and will win the Central.

I am!!!\n\nBeing a Tiger Fan For Life, I never would have thought this was possible.\n\nHow can ANYONE NOT be impressed???\n\nThey have the BEST record in baseball right now. Are 20 games OVER .500 (not UNDER)!!!\n\nIt's like all the pieces are coming together. I believe Jim Leyland is the key. He says it's the players, but he's keeping the players focused on TODAY, not next week.\n\nThey have won 14 out of thier last 15, and are currently \n2 1/2 games in front of the white sox.\n\nWill this last all season? I hope so, but I doubt it.\n\nThe white sox are just too good a team for us to over take (as much as I would love that!).\n\nWe might win the wild card...but seriously i would be very happy if they won 82=84 games (considering they havent seen .500 in 12 years).\n\nWe;ll see...the next 10 games will show us just how good they really are (2 more with Cleveland, 4 with the evil yankees, and 3 with the equally evil red sox).

give me a break.\nthe sox are the most squeaky clean team in baseball.

Yes. The way baseball is now teams that can spend a lot of money, and do it wisely, stand a much better chance of being competitive. I expect that both teams will be in the playoffs this year and I'd give it a 1 in 4 chance that there will be one this year.

I do not think it will be a white wash. It is going to be a tough series.

Not in this Lifetime. \n\nThe Red Sox can wait another century for a World Series title.

Tough call to make. They have some good young arms on that staff but the hitting needs to keep up. Losing Maroth may hurt them but the biggest worry for them is Ozzie and when he gets the Sox on the tear they've been just missing so far this year.
