Do you think the White Sox will pull it off again this year and win the World Series?

I think so. They got a great pitching staff, good bullpen(jenks). Then their hitting lineup aint too shabby. Thome, and konerko carries the load. Crede is getting better by the year. iguchi and posednik can get on base and steal some too. overall, solid team all around. Got a good shot, better than any other team.

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

Though many Yankee fans who are still crying about how the Red Sox made them look like idiots in the 2004 ALCS (came back from 3 games to 0) claim the Red Sox will never win again, I believe that one of their best chances of winning it again could be this year. They have the young talent and depth they need to take another title home to Boston. The pitching staff (with an exception of Wells) has looked extrodinary and Papelbon has been lights out so far this season out of the bullpen. Once their offense begins to explode the Red Sox will be a tough team to beat. If the Red Sox do not win the World Series this year then they will definitely have a chance in the coming years as long as they are able to re-sign and hold on to the young talent such as Cavelli "Coco" Crisp, Josh Beckett, Wily Mo Pena, Jonathan Papelbon, etc., etc. AND ALL OF YOU GAY YANKEE FANS THAT CANNOT ARGUE BEYOND "NO WAY RED SOX SUCKS" BECAUSE I KNOW YOU AREN'T CAPABLE OF IT SHOULD JUST SHUT UP BECAUSE YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD REASONING ON WHY THE RED SOX SHOULDN'T WIN IT ALL.......MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE YOUR YANKEES ARE JUST MEDIOCRE THUS FAR THIS SEASON AND THEY COMPLETELY BLEW THE 2004 ALCS AND CREATED THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN SPORTS HISTORY.....AND O YA DON'T YOU GUYS HAVE TWO GUYS WHO  USED STEROIDS NOT TO MENTION ANY NAMES (cough SHEFFIELD AND GIAMBI cough).....EPSTEIN IS BETTER THAN CASHMAN,AND THE RED SOX ARE JUST BETTER THAN THE YANKEES, END OF STORY THAT IS THAT.

They have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs as a WC team. The WS is going to be a tough place for them to get to, but it is possible. Remember the bad starts that they've had the last two years? They came back from those to reach the NLCS in '04 and then the WS in '05.\n\nThey have Clemens now, and will soon get Brandon Backe back into the rotation. Oswalt is pitching good, but getting little run support. Wandy Rodriguez has been amazing, and if he stays healthy this could be his break-out year. If Pettitte and the bullpen can find the groove they were in last year, look for the Astros in October.\n\nLike last year, this team is all about the pitching. The batting, although not as good as in '04, is doing much better than in '05. If Chris Burke stays hot, he might be the spark the lineup needs to catch fire. With Berkman and Ensberg healthy now, we might see more of that 19-9 type playing that they showed at the beginning of the season.

I am a Tiger Fan For Life...and I simply enjoying this.\n\nI know The White Sox are the better team, and I know they will win the Central.\n\nConsidering where they have been the last 12 years---this is truly amazing...and it is fun to be a Tiger fan again.\n\nThe best I hope for this year is 2nd place, maybe the wild card.\n\nI'd love to see The White Sox & The Tigers play for The ALCS.\n\nBut I aint cocky or arrogant. I am simply enjoying it while it lasts.

they could possibly win one this year or next year. They have a good basketball team with labron james and are expected to make it to the mlb players, so they have a good chance this year

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.

Hey you can claim you have proof that the Sox will repeat (and there is a good chance they will) but you don't know that.  Did you have proof the Angels would win the series in 2002?  How about the Marlins when they knocked off the Yankees?  I am sorry No one knows who is going to win and I will tell you why: Cleveland, Minnesota, Los Angeles(Anaheim), New York, Boston, Toronto, and Oakland.  Any one of these teams has the talent to get there.  The White Sox will not have an easy road, so don't go off saying you have proof, there is no proof.  It's a game and that is why it's played.  No one knows who is going to win.  If you think there is always a definite winner and one can always be predicted then maybe you missed the Uconn-George Mason game.  If I had to guess I would say either the White Sox or A's will be there this year, but i am an Angels fan so i have hope for us.

Eventually. Fans of the Red Sox and White Sox probably have thought the same thing.

Dude, it's way too early to even think about that.\n\nAs a Tiger Fan For Life, I am just happy they are winning; and I am enjoying while it lasts.\n\nSeeing as how The Tigers haven't finished .500 or better for the last 12 years...it is refreshing to see them do so well.\n\nIF (and that is a pretty big word) they stay healthy I expect them to give the white sox a run for thier money.\n\nI am NOT saying they will win the Central Division. \n\nBut it would be nice.\n\nSeriously, a 2nd place finish would be awesome!\n\nWild Card? It could happen. With Toronto winning The East we wont have to play those evil yankees or evil red sox.

I think they have improved their hitting and leadoff spot which has been hurting them for years now. I wish they'd either get rid of Kerry Wood or move him to the bullpen. But I think they'll have a solid bullpen this year which was killing them last year. Oh, and watch for them to manufacture runs with Pierre and Hairston batting 1 and 2. I don't think they'll rely so heavily on the homerun ball this year. Don't give up on this season even if they start slow. We want them to peak at the end of the season. Yes, I bleed blue. White Suks!!!! Go Cubs!!!!

Sure - what's not real about the best record in baseball?  Stellar starter ERA, mashing like there's no tomorrow, and just doing the little things to win games, especially when it comes to come-back wins.\n\nI know they didn't do better than .500 against the big boys (Yanks, both Sox, etc.), but so far they've done what they need to do - beat the crap teams, hang with the big boys, and have put themselves in a great position to make a possible post-season run...\n\nJust remember last year's White Sox - got out quick, hung on, and finished the job when it mattered the most.  Eerie similarities to this year's Tigers.  The Tigers will hit bumps in the road (maybe even a prolonged 6-8 game losing streak at some point), but if they just keep doing what they're doing, they won't just be for real; they will be AL Central Champs.

Yes, still the best. No doubt, they'll win it all again next year.

They will win the world series.

If they get it together! Yeah they might have a chance. The Boston Red Sox thought they would never win but hey they did! Sure they might win!
