1-5 in thier last 6 games, including a loss to the Royals, and two to the D-rays.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 1, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) Actually, a win for the yanks and a loss for the Indians and they do clinch the east as they hold the tie breaker over Boston. YOu're right.. I was thinking with a Cleveland and Boston win tomorrow, it would be a three way tie, but Cleveland has to win this game too to make that happen

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 1, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) But, this (potential) loss for Cleveland might be huge for us, too. Doesn't New York win the AL East with a win today and a Cleveland loss? That will probably mean that New York plays their scrubs tomorrow, meaning Boston has a huge shot at winning. Damn. I don't want Boston in the first round. No, NY would only take the AL East if Cleveland loses tomorrow in addition to today, with Boston getting the WC. -- A win today guaranteed them nothing worse than a playoff. Even with a loss today, Cleveland is only 1 game out of a WC, and if they were to win tomorrow. ---- Anouncers are convinced it's Buehrle/Garcia in game 1-2... I love having the ace in the hole.

Oh boy, Gload in the OF. This should be fun.

That was really sweet.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 09:55 PM) Let me get this straight: If the Sox get swept this series, they'll still get home field for the playoffs as long as Boston doesn't sweep the Yanks? Correct.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 09:51 PM) I don't get it: We've basically could care less the whole game, but now we're going to use our entire bullpen? exactly, if you're going to use politte et. al. then use Konerko and Krew.

Just put Sanders in and be done with it. Ozzie didn't want to pinch hit actual major league bats, so just give up already

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) Sanders or Baj or Hermy? Cotts

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 05:47 PM) I noticed that pay-rod is batting 2nd for the yankees... has this been happening much this year? I don't watch them. yes.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) I went to Sports Authority last night just in case they had some stuff. Not only did they not have anything, I spent 15 minutes arguing with their sales guy that the sox clinched the Division. He's like our supplier doesn't print up stuff for ties....they haven't clinched anything, but a tie....blah blah blah..we went back and forth...he was clearly a cub fan or a tribe fan cause he had attitude as soon as I asked him for any AL championship wear. I thought we were gonna go to fisticuffs right there in the store....hahaha.... LOL The Sox have won more games this season than the Cubs did in 2003 including the playoffs, and yet some douchebag thinks they have only "tied" for the title. What a loser.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) Looks like Coop to me.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) No, every team has to respect the game and always play to win. If teams were allowed to take the night off, baseball would be like wrestling (the WWF variety). We'll see how Ozzie does the rest of the series. Maybe it's day off tonight and they'll play all weekend. I didn't hear you complaining on Sunday when Minnesota rested Jacque Jones, Joe Mauer, and Justin Morneau all on the same day. I'm pretty sure that Ross Gload, Brian Anderson, and Joe Borchard are better than Jason Tyner, Chris Heintz, and Juan Castro. Kansas City inexplicably left their best player on the bench for their final 4 games with Cleveland, were you crying no fair then?

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 09:26 AM) ok something is very strange here...why is it that the whitesox clinched the division because they have the better head-head record versus clev, but if ny & bos finish tied at the end of the year they must play a one game playoff even though ny has the better head-head during the season? WTF is going on here? If we sweep cleveland, or take 2 of 3, that puts them at 93-94 wins. If Boston takes two of three from NY, they both would have 95 wins. There would be no playoff game becuase NY holds the tiebreaker. Boston automatically becomes the WildCard.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 10:48 PM) You make the call. Rex Kickass or winodj. I will not vote. Holy s***... I have Avatars and Signatures turned off. I thought you were Capn... You should change your name to Capn. The famously large guns of Ed Hoculi say Capn.

Found the NY tiebreaker...

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 12:08 AM) I need this explained to me: If the BoSawx and Cleveland both take two out of three this weekend-we have a three way tie. How do the logisitics of time workout? Is it division game on Monday, Wildcard on Tuesday? What does this do to the Tuesday scheduled games? Would we be bumped back to Wednesday evening then? Its sounds like a 3-way tie thrwos a monkeywrench into the schedule unlike a one game playoff on Monday It could be really good for us... Let's say their is a 3-way tie @ 95 wins. Boston and NY play a 1-game playoff, then the loser plays Cleveland the next day. -- The Sox could end up getting a Yankee or Boston team who has just wasted two starters on back-to-back playoff games. That would be a HUGE advantage headed into a short series.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) Unless there's a one game playoff, Monday will be a very long day. The White Sox will not be part of ANY one game playoff scenario. They are in. PERIOD.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) Can you essplain? There's a possibility that we still might have to have a one game playoff with Cleveland? We're done. We're in. No ifs, ands, or buts. Boston winning 2 of 3 against NY puts both teams at 95 wins.... Us winning 1 of the three against Cleveland also puts them at 95 wins. -- That's when it gets interesting, and we could end up playing our first game on Wednesday.

It's going to a playoff game.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) Thats what im talking about, AJ has some experience in the playoffs and we need him to show it. I really hope he starts hitting like he can. This is the winningest team that AJ has ever been a part of.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) Earlier ESPN was saying... 1 win OR a Red Sox AND a Yankees loss sealed homefield throughout This would indicate that we hold the tiebreaker over the Yankees(3-3 Head-toHead), but not the RedSox(3-4 Head-to-Head). 1 win, and the RedSox couldn't catch us if they win out, but with one win, the Yankees could tie us if they swept.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 10:10 PM) Do we hold the tiebreaker over them?? Cause we split head to head. Yeah, I was wondering what the tiebreaker is.... Run differential maybe? Common opponents? Coin Flip? -- We won a coin flip, I know.
