Sure we could. Lose the last two. Cleveland wins the last two.

I'm sorry,....did they lose, somehow? Seems like Castillo pitched, and then the White Sox won. Why do I have to be one of the most awesome pinup girls evah getting spanked, and nobody else gets s%*# for telling us for 1.5 years that Vargas was a bench bat? Or that Colson would never make an error if he played every single inning at shortstop? Or that Grant Taylor was the most awesome arm, and that only online people could suggest how he should be used? I'm guessing they were so far ahead, Will told him, "Give up the grand slam, let them think they can score runs". Venable's a mind-fucker. Chris Getz laughs at all of this. He probably has a job lined up as Dodgers' President if the Sox even make the playoffs.

Neither will Red Sox fans. Putz around and no momentum for the playoffs. It would make sense if they were playing the A's but losing series to Cleveland and the Cubs is not something you want to do. I don't think you can just flip a switch in baseball. It doesn't look like the Dodgers are coasting. I doubt the Brewers will.

Two games left after Friday. If we’re 1 up with two games left, we can’t lost the division.

Time for Cleveland to lose it tomorrow. Boston favored to win with a Gray v Griffin matchup. The Red Sox showed some fight today and I don’t take the line “they could care less” with much weight.

That’s what I’ve been boding for since we lost hold of first place… and I believe they can do it. No reason they shouldn’t be able to beat the Royals twice more and the Rockies three times at home.

With a Houston win… Sox Magic numbers- Cle- 6, Hou-3, Tex-2, Tor-1, Bal-1 Cleveland Magic numbers- Sox-5, Hou-2, Tex-2, Tor-1, Bal-0

CLE have won 6 in a row. Unbelievable

Yes, it’s three against the Astros. I’m saying it’s two against the Rangers. Under your scenario, we don’t get the two. I’m saying this- a Sox win and Rangers loss tomorrow gets the Sox in the postseason.

“One of these days, WestEddy—pow!”

You sure you’d rather have this: Seranthony Dominguez ($10 million in 2027) 23-year old Boston Smith’s .990 OPS Than this? Luis Castillo ($22.75 million in 2027) “Too late… no tradebacks!” says Seattle.

Ok, NERD!

I know how it works. So explain how it is 2 on this scenario: Sox go 0-5 Rangers go 4-1 Astros go 3-2 Thats two losses from the Astros. As you said, magic number goes down with opponent losses. With a magic number of two, that should get you in right? The standings would be Texas 82-80 Astros 81-81 White Sox 81-81 Sox miss the playoffs despite 2 losses from the competition. Magic number is 3 right now but yes 3 games can be gained in 1 night with a win.

Such a good show. BANG ZOOM TO THE MOON, WESTEDDY!

I don't know. I do think Cleveland has the best chance simply because they have the type of pitching you need to succeed in the playoffs plus they have experience. I honestly would give us the lowest chances no matter what seed we get but it will still be fun to experience more playoff baseball

The Magic number goes down with a Sox win or the the other team’s loss. It’s 2.

It's still technically 3. There is one specific scenario where it is three, but I laid that out above. Yes, a sox win alone would lower the number by 2. That's the fun with tiebreakers. But if the Sox dont win again, the tiebreaker isnt guaranteed.

Watch out "God Exists" people. Our very own James Fox will not like it very much.

IMO, whoever gets the 2 seed goes to the ALCS (at minimum)

It would take Sox 1-4 finish and 5-0 Rangers run Sox at 82-80 Rangers at 83-79

A Sox win and Rangers loss means: Sox win 82 minimum and Rangers 82 maximum…Sox hold tiebreaker. The magic number is 2

2 wins definitely gets us in the playoffs.

Cleveland would need to win out if Sox went 1-2
