August 31, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 31, 2017 -> 07:16 AM) Wednesday: Phillies lost twice, Giants lost, Sox lost, Reds lost, A's lost 32 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Phillies(30) - 35 2. Giants(27) - 30 3. White Sox(31) 4. Reds(29) - 28 5. A's(29) - 26 how can we compete with teams losing twice in one day? f***ing cocksuckers.
September 1, 20178 yr QUOTE (reiks12 @ Aug 31, 2017 -> 07:31 PM) Phillies lose! You mean Phillies win.
September 1, 20178 yr Giants down 2-1 after 5. Bumgarner was scratched with the flu. A SF win would cap a nice day.
September 1, 20178 yr Top 2 and I'm happy. The only reason being that I've never been a rabid fan and obsessively observed a draft with us picking above 3. The Rodon draft at 3 was the bomb digity and I wanna top it. For shizzle my nizzles.

The Rodon draft at 3 was the bomb digity and I wanna top it. For shizzle my nizzles. To be fair, the Sox took advantage of a couple prospects that had helium (Aiken and Kolek) while Rodon's stock was fading and they seemed to understand that Rodon was simply fatigued. We obviously know what happened after that. As frustrating as the guy is, the dude is obviously a special talent. Just gotta hope that if he is as advertised, the Sox can re-sign him when the time comes. Williams was never able to deal with the Boras Corporation. Hahn can.

I remember it well and was alluding to that situation. In real time, it was electric. Wanna experience a top 2 pick now - preferably el numero uno.
September 1, 20178 yr Thursday: Phillies won, Giants lost, Sox lost, Reds won 31 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Phillies(29) - 33 2. Giants(26) - 29 3. White Sox(30) 4. Reds(28) - 26 5. A's(29) - 25 If the Sox somehow go 14-16, the Reds would have to go 9-19 to have a better pick. The Sox are getting the 2nd or 3rd pick. Big series next weekend.

Need to find him a guy who can frame that slider.
September 1, 20178 yr Author The rest of the schedule for the Sox looks tough besides Detroit and SF. Hopefully we lose those 2 series.

The Sox are getting the 2nd or 3rd pick. Big series next weekend. You've got that right. Sox and Giants both on track for 64 wins. Giants have a tougher schedule. Dropping 2 of 3 or all 3 by either team next weekend could very easily decide who gets #2.
September 1, 20178 yr It doesn't suck the Sox hold the tiebreaker with the Giants. Simply put, if the Sox go 4-6 three times in a row, they'll have a really high pick next June.
September 1, 20178 yr I think we are 3 games ahead of Detroit. After their dumps, they may be in this as well.
September 2, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 08:56 PM) Phillies comeback win! Reds likely gonna win They did. Official. All we need is a Giants loss and this will be a great night (assuming the sox do in fact lose).

September 2, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 09:41 PM) You mean Giants win. Crawford 2-run homer. Yes. I blame reiks for that.
September 2, 20178 yr Brandon Crawford is doing everything he can to give the Sox the 2nd pick. And as I type this, Pence just hit a 2 run triple. 5-2 Giants, bottom 3rd.
September 2, 20178 yr If the Giants win, the White Sox will take back the #2 pick. The Phillies will still lead the 1st pick by 2.5 games... WE CAN DO THIS!
September 2, 20178 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 07:04 AM) Need to find him a guy who can frame that slider. Framing for those who believe in it probably doesn't affect a very high percentage of calls. Throwing it for a strike more often may get you the benefit of the doubt on close pitches more often from the ump.
September 2, 20178 yr QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 10:14 PM) If the Giants win, the White Sox will take back the #2 pick. The Phillies will still lead the 1st pick by 2.5 games... WE CAN DO THIS! Seriously, stop counting games back and watch the win column. We have won 1 game more than the Phillies, 1 game fewer than the Giants. That's where we really sit. For whoever worried about the Tigers a moment ago, they have won 6 more games than us.
