Bob Sacamano Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 09:35 AM) Sox 9-14 Giants 8-12 Â That'll do it. Giving them a couple wins this weekend would help a lot. Â A couple wins from the Giants only moves the needle one game. A sweep would be 3.

bmags Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Basically in september is when I flip the switch and legit do not want to win games. Earlier in the year, let the chips fall where they may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Obviously, but it's hard to assume any team is going to sweep another team at any time--especially on the road. That would be a pretty awesome though. Â I just hope Giolito pitches well, and then the bullpen gives it up. After that, the rest of the weekend is gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringfieldFan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Anyone paying attention to the home/road schedules? It seems to have gone unnoticed but the Sox odds have quietly improved by that alone recently. Â For quite a while, the Sox had played far more games on the road than at home, especially compared to the Phillies and Giants. However, in the last couple of weeks or so, that has flipped and the Sox have now have played three more at home. Check out the total games home vs away so far: Â CHW 71H, 68R PHI 65H, 75R SF 70H, 72R Â It isn't insignificant that now the Sox must play more games on the road than the others, especially Philadelphia, who will be getting ten more home games than road games down the stretch.

flavum Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Phillies sched: 3 at Was 3 vs Mia 3 vs Oak 4 vs LA 3 at Atl 3 vs Was 3 vs NYM Â Not out of the question they go 10-12. That would be 99 losses. Â The Sox would have to go 8-15 the rest of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 No matter what pick the Sox end up with from 1-3, they're going to have an opportunity to get a great player. It just comes down to selecting the right one. Enlightening, I know - but really. Â What happens in the last 20 or so games happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I think tonight's game is the Sox best chance for a win and I'm not all that confident in this offense against Moore. Despite shark bait pitching Saturday, he's still opposed by James f***ing Shields, ugh. Sunday is Bumgarner, LMAO. Definitely potential or a sweep if the Sox don't put up some offense this weekend.
