September 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 7, 2017 -> 06:36 PM) At least Sunday is a guaranteed loss. I'll be happy with 1 out of 3 TBH. That will be the game we win because baseball.

September 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 08:15 AM) I really want a top 2 pick Sox 9-14 Giants 8-12 That'll do it. Giving them a couple wins this weekend would help a lot.

September 8, 20178 yr Basically in september is when I flip the switch and legit do not want to win games. Earlier in the year, let the chips fall where they may.
September 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 09:39 AM) A couple wins from the Giants only moves the needle one game. A sweep would be 3. Obviously, but it's hard to assume any team is going to sweep another team at any time--especially on the road. That would be a pretty awesome though. I just hope Giolito pitches well, and then the bullpen gives it up. After that, the rest of the weekend is gravy.
September 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 7, 2017 -> 10:16 PM) Sox and Phillies lose. 0.5 GB of the Giants for the 2nd pick 2.5 GB of the Phillies for the 1st pick We are 1.5 GB of the Phillies.
September 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) We are 1.5 GB of the Phillies. He means the Sox have to be 2.5 games worse with the remaining schedule to have a higher pick.
September 8, 20178 yr Anyone paying attention to the home/road schedules? It seems to have gone unnoticed but the Sox odds have quietly improved by that alone recently. For quite a while, the Sox had played far more games on the road than at home, especially compared to the Phillies and Giants. However, in the last couple of weeks or so, that has flipped and the Sox have now have played three more at home. Check out the total games home vs away so far: CHW 71H, 68R PHI 65H, 75R SF 70H, 72R It isn't insignificant that now the Sox must play more games on the road than the others, especially Philadelphia, who will be getting ten more home games than road games down the stretch.

September 8, 20178 yr June: Bring up Giolito to help with the tank September: shut down Giolito to help the tank
September 8, 20178 yr Phillies sched: 3 at Was 3 vs Mia 3 vs Oak 4 vs LA 3 at Atl 3 vs Was 3 vs NYM Not out of the question they go 10-12. That would be 99 losses. The Sox would have to go 8-15 the rest of the way.
September 8, 20178 yr No matter what pick the Sox end up with from 1-3, they're going to have an opportunity to get a great player. It just comes down to selecting the right one. Enlightening, I know - but really. What happens in the last 20 or so games happens.
September 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 10:31 AM) This series is not going to result in a sweep, one way or the other. Shields and Fulmer are pretty bad. Giolito has been good but he's a rookie so who knows what we get
September 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 01:32 PM) Shields and Fulmer are pretty bad. Giolito has been good but he's a rookie so who knows what we get Gio is due to lay an egg, he would have a couple good games followed by a s*** show the last few months.
September 8, 20178 yr I think tonight's game is the Sox best chance for a win and I'm not all that confident in this offense against Moore. Despite shark bait pitching Saturday, he's still opposed by James f***ing Shields, ugh. Sunday is Bumgarner, LMAO. Definitely potential or a sweep if the Sox don't put up some offense this weekend.
September 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (reiks12 @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 01:51 PM) Gio is due to lay an egg, he would have a couple good games followed by a s*** show the last few months. On the other hand, the Giants offense.
September 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) Cmon 3-2 loss with dingers by TA & Moncada & 8IP by Gio.
