September 22, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 11:00 PM) At this point, I'd be happy if the Tigers go 3-6 and the Sox go 4-6. That would get the 3rd pick. But deep down, you know the Sox are dropping to 4th. If that happens the Tigers should get some sort of trophy for that accomplishment in tanking so quickly.
September 22, 20178 yr You have got to be bleeping kidding me with this win. Useless win and I bet we end up 4th now. In a season designed to get a top two pick we fail at that. At least a few guys look good moving forward. And hopefully someone in the NLDS knocks the Cubs off. If they win another title or two our organization may be wrecked in this city.
September 22, 20178 yr Thursday: Won- White Sox, Padres, Braves Lost- Phillies, Tigers, Reds 10 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(9) - 11 (-1.5 GB)* 2.

September 22, 20178 yr Yeah, useless wins like any of the ones we've seen recently turn into garbage time heroes like Carson Fulmer, as opposed to an Andrew Benintendi on draft day. Edited September 22, 20178 yr by Two-Gun Pete

It's far to soon to be going around calling Carson "garbage" but I actually was pissed on draft day when the Red Sox picked Benitendi.

Thank you. Perhaps you'll mature a bit after a little "vacation".q Insults aside, you're preaching to the choir here man... flavum and I have been two of the biggest advocates for losses so far this season... but by all means, keep coming up with those heroic insults. You're hysterical. Kisses...
September 22, 20178 yr Phillies lost, Sox won, Detroit lost 1 game lead on Detroit for the 3rd pick 1 GB of the Phillies for the 2nd pick 1.5 GB of the Giants for the 1st pick 10 games left for the Sox.
September 22, 20178 yr It would be so White Sox if they go 6-4 and the Reds go 1-8...and the Sox drop to 5th.
September 22, 20178 yr Do the Sox get sneaky creative and shut anyone else down? Potentially the 5th pick in whats likely the only true tanking season absolutely sucks. Edited September 22, 20178 yr by Jenksy Cat

Yeah no kidding dude. I preferred Benintendi as well but once he came off the board I was fine with drafting Fulmer. As for Fulmer being garbage, some folks should quit their day jobs and become scouts. After all, 23 is the new 33 so it's time for Carson to hang up his cleats and think about a new career as a pitching coach. Kudos to you hi8is for keeping a cool head in your last few posts.

September 22, 20178 yr I need 0-10 to finish the season, or 1-9 but the only win coming in the last game of the regular season.

Your definitely getting one loss with Cover on the mound tomorrow, the other 2 against KC are up in the air. You might get a sweep with Cleveland though.
September 22, 20178 yr It would be helpful for the Giants, Phillies, and Tigers to all go 5-4 in their last 9. Then the #1 pick would only require 4-6.

If the Sox go 4-6, I will have no complaints about their pick position. It's just too bad the Tigers have a terrible roster and they've given up--including Ausmus.
September 23, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 22, 2017 -> 05:26 PM) The Tigers are getting a top 2 pick. I have no doubt about that. Certainly seems like it
September 23, 20178 yr There are too many competent players on the team right now. This was an issue earlier in the season as well. But even if the worst happens, picking 5th wouldn't be the end of the world.
