Everyone.

That's how solo homers work. No one is on base.

They just piss themselves instead...

So hard they need a personal assistant to carry a diaper bag and clean up after them.

To be fair, this is where the quants come into the game. The numbers show that it is better to always swing for the fences than to sacrifice power for contact. This is why teams like the Sox do this. Apparently the numbers bear this out.

The Sox scored 5 runs in three games. Unless Kay was hitting dongs, it wouldn't have probably mattered.

I wouldn't say I am "confident" for any path as of now...

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expected different results. Throw the names into a bingo ball and see what falls out as far as I am concerned.

In terms of best possible path? yes, win the division and stay ahead of the ALW leader. In terms of just making the playoffs, yeah, they have a LOT of pathways for getting in.

Little of Column A, little of Column B...

Remember the Sox lead the division. And even if they didn't lead the ALC, they are also currently setting as the 3rd best record of any of the teams eligible for the Wild Card. They need to get severely out played by at least one team in the division AND one team outside of the division. Essentially you need Cleveland AND Texas or Toronto to go crazy to close this last couple of weeks out, while making sure that if Texas gets hot, the Sox still stay head of Houston too. You also have Toronto and Texas still having a three game series left to play, which makes it harder to get both of them to outplay the Sox, because one of them has to take a least two Ls in that series. A whole lot of things have to go wrong for the Sox to miss out. Like I said a while back, I don't think the rest of the teams out there are good enough to all outplay the White Sox by that much, in this short of a period of time. I know the magic number is still out there, but the fact we need two teams, not one team, and they have to be the right two teams, and still not lose the lead over the two AL West teams potentially, makes the algebra much harder to knock the Sox out. It is still POSSIBLE, but it is really complex.

the hell you do.

Oh the humanity!

Well, most of our line up can't right now...

Wow that is stark. The last couple of years the AL Central got fat off of the Sox, this year the Sox got fat off of the AL Central.

Makes it a lot harder to blame the players...

I will let you guys pick what Soxtalk character fits them. https://www.google.com/search?q=youtube+parks+and+rec+community+meeting&oq=youtube+parks+and+rec+community+meeting&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigATIHCAYQIRifBTIHCAcQIRifBTIHCAgQIRiPAtIBCDgxNjlqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&source=chrome.ob&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:dfa00423,vid:Ng_-HgRfGBY,st:0

This thread has had the Ron Effect so far. 0-3. Lock it, delete it, and pretend it never happened.

Nobody in the Al Central or AL West DESERVES to win a division title, but somebody's gotta lotto.

There are definitely more than a few guys we have to head into the off-season with some major questions about, including pretty much all pitching.

Did Ant slide by?

You won't have White Sox traffic 80 times a year...

But almost exactly what Soxtalk predicted at the beginning of the season.

Was thinking the same thing.
