Beat both teams I'm contending with and still no respect

Your White Sox are lumped in the middle with a bunch of teams around 0.500 just like yours... it seems like a valid ranking.

Smack dab in the middle of the power rankings and standings is my par goal for the season.

I am planning on making a couple more moves before the deadline, but it looks like all of my players are getting in stride most notably Dunn, Prado, Headley, and Vazquez. Once Heyward and Reyes get 100%, things could get interesting. The best thing is that this whole team will be back next yr.

Matchup of the week has to be the Reds and White Sox tilt.  I am saying this even with the Dodgers and Cardinals playing each other.  Those teams have nice leads in their races whereas the Reds and White Sox are on the outside and just trying to stay in the race.  Any loss to these teams is devastating at this point in the season.

12) - (10-4) [85.83%/B+/B] - Can Red Sox survive injuries? (-4)

I'm just going to ignore the disrespect and keep on winning... jokes...

It is a little low for a 10-4 team though and Ellsbury is almost back.
