2-2 in the third.

They are 6-6 since completing their nine game stretch against the three worst teams in baseball. I’ve said before they get credit for taking advantage of said schedule but don’t let that fool anyone into thinking they’re some red hot, great team.

Should the Rangers come back to beat the Mariners (currently down 3-2, bottom 8) they would jump Toronto and push our magic number for the wild card back to 14 (they’d be 73-73 with a win.)

I think we should use him now instead of waiting until April. 😁

That was me.

With how he’s pitched how does pushing Castillo back to Friday, April 2 sound?

14 to the post-season.

I’m not getting my hopes up but it is 2-1 A’s over Jays after 2.

I was told there would be no math.

Four games up in the loss column.

Dick Allen has to be 15 assuming the Sox don’t go winless the rest of the season and Guardians stay red hot and go unbeaten.

Those red hot Guardians, who haven’t thrown a pitch with the lead in four games, are stunned by the Orioles today. Edit…make it five games.

I have no idea why some are so afraid of Cleveland. They had one good streak against the worst teams in baseball, otherwise they’re mediocre at best. Just take care of our business.

The king of strawmen.

Magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 15, correct? 17 for the division and 2 seed?

Need a 0 here in the worst way.

Alright. Cleveland loses. LFG. Win this game!

If they blow this one…

I don’t trust this will happen in a timely fashion.

Now that’s using your ballsack constructively.

I’m 62 years old. I want to live long enough to see a game here!

Tigers take a 1-0 lead after one, getting my hopes up again. Fuckers.

What’s higher Pham’s fWar or Michael Turner’s self-esteem?

Nice strawman. Well done.

So your starting point is when they had three series against the worst teams in baseball. To their credit they took advantage of the schedule. Other than that gifted stretch or even with that gifted stretch they’re playing exactly the same as the Sox over virtually any span of games other than the full season which the Sox have three fewer losses. They just lost a series to the Royals and let the Jays back in the race. They are not some juggernaut. The Sox get a quitting Detroit, frisky but hopefully uninterested KC and an awful Colorado for their last 10. The Sox are the better team and are winning the division. Book mark this and shove it my face if I’m wrong.
