6 more outs for the Ohio teams—Sox get 4th pick.

Hosmer, Moustakas, Cain, and Escobar left the field at the same time. Cool moment.

3-0 Reds

Kinda crazy how these meaningless games have the potential of changing franchises for years.

Reds up 1-0 after 4. Rob Fn Brantly

Instead of ranking the 10 teams in order of preference, how do you want this to go down? I want Yankees and Dbacks to win. Then... Indians beat Yankees Astros beat Red Sox Nationals beat Cubs Dodgers beat Dbacks Then... Indians beat Astros Dodgers beat Nationals Then... Indians beat Dodgers But in short...no 3-seeds past next weekend.

Bruce is going to have a big October.

I remember half the board even wanting the Cubs to sweep them. How is what the Tigers did any different? The Tigers were 51-57, and then went 13-40. It’s not like they went 22-32 three times in a row. It’s been an historic freefall for Detroit.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Oct 1, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) All three walks came around to score. Walks’ll kill ya. Reds-Cubs scoreless after 1

Twins/Tigers may have to wait out the rain for a while. If the Giants lose and Phillies win, it won’t matter if they play. edit: first pitch 2:50

https://twitter.com/hoynsie/status/914525954852212736 I could see a few of the Indians coming out of the game after a couple at bats. They're playing for absolutely nothing other than the home crowd.

It's early to predict, but is it conceivable the Sox could be better than the Tigers and Royals? Absolutley. The Twins? Maybe. The Rays, Orioles, Rangers, A's, Angels? Hmmm... Middle of the pack if all goes right. It's a team that has the potential to surprise, but the rebuild continues.

Just for today... Ohio > Illinois

I said 65-97, and I should have been right, dammit!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 1, 2017 -> 10:40 AM) Only like 6 games. When he announced his retirement, they said he'd be doing every Sunday home game. Did that change?

QUOTE (ron883 @ Oct 1, 2017 -> 10:23 AM) He will be back next year Yep, he'll probably do the first series, and every Sunday home game after. Probably 14-20 games.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 1, 2017 -> 10:00 AM) Many thanks to flavum and chili for keeping us updated all season long on this 2017 tank run. Appreciate it dudes. You got it. Also...never again!

Draft order after everyone's 108th game (since): 1. Phillies 39-69 (26-27) 2. White Sox 41-67 (26-27) 3. Giants 41-67 (22-31) 4. Reds 44-64 (23-30) 5. Padres 48-60 (23-30) 6. A's 48-60 (26-27) 7. Mets 49-59 (21-32) 8. Braves 50-58 (21-32) 9. Marlins 51-57 (26-27) 10. Tigers 51-57 (13-40) 11. Blue Jays 51-57 (24-29)

The Sox had the 4th pick at the All-Star Break. Every Sunday after: 3rd 3rd 3rd 2nd 2nd 2nd 3rd 3rd 3rd 3rd 4th And if the Reds lose or Sox win, 5th

Hahn is on the Score at 11. He'll say the draft is deep and he's happy about the winning, but there's no way they don't wish they lost a few more, or aren't pissed the Tigers tanked that bad over the last couple months.

If it rains all day in Minnesota, it may help the Giants and hurt the Phillies..

67 or 68 They overperformed. Overall, it was a good year for the rebuild.

1. Giants 63-98 (Det-1) 2. Tigers 64-97 (SF-2, Phi-1) 3. Phillies 65-96 (Det-2) 4. Reds 67-94 (Sox-1) 5. White Sox 67-94 (Cin-2) Mets are 6th. If they win and Padres and Braves lose, they go from 6th to 8th. That would piss me off more than what is happening to the Sox.
