Kansas City was eliminated earlier this week. The White Sox have clinched at least a tie with Detroit, the elimination number down to 1.

Elimination Number = Magic Number (clinch a tie) + 1 (elimination)

  • 1 Detroit
  • Cleveland

Will restore the seeding tracking if there is a substantial turn for the better.

All right, so the Cleveland elimination number is 6.

White Sox have 1 game left in Texas and 3 in Detroit.

Cleveland has 1 against New York and 4 with Kansas City.

That totals 9. White Sox need a combination of 6 Sox Wins and Clevelander losses out of those 9. Otherwise, it comes down to that 5 game series in Cleveland.

Want to see it end - there’s your spot. Probably first 2 games of that series: Would take some really strong effort by someone to prevent it.

Hypothetically, Cleveland sweeps that 5 game series, and suddenly things would be real again. But yeah that would be one for the record books.

If we keep losing, Cleveland may make things interesting for us.

At worst, we go into Cleveland with at least a 6.5 game lead. And that's assuming we lose the next 4 and they win their next 5. If we screw up that badly, we probably don't deserve to win shit.

9/20:

Magic number = 4

Detroit was eliminated Sunday, joining Minnesota and Kansas City. Cleveland could be eliminated as early as Tuesday.

Sox remain 3 back of Houston.

In the Wild Card race Boston is in the first spot 1 games ahead of Toronto in the second spot. New York and Oakland both 1.5 back and Seattle 4 back.

 

Over in the National League, the Giants are in front of the Dodgers by 1, with both having clinched at least a WC spot. St. Louis holds the 2nd WC spot, with Cincinnati 3 back, Philly 3 back (Sunday night pending) and San Diego 3.5 back. Philly only 1.5 behind Atlanta in the East (again, Sun night pending).

I think the Sox will clinch Thurs or Friday due to weather in Detroit. Hopefully MLB won’t make them go back to Detroit next Monday to play 2. If they end up playing 160, oh well. 

I hope the Sox clinch at Detroit. It's been a while since anybody clinched anything in Detroit.
