  • I just don't see how we can win the division without Tony in the dugout.     Said no Sox fan this century. 

  • This will be tough but they really need to go 6-0 against the athletics and Rockies. With the twins and guardians about to play each other that would be huge. 

  • It would, but also I don’t want hear any complaining about how unfair it is either. They did it that way this year because the backup should be a wildcard spot. Since it’ll be lower than the 6-seed…sh

As it stands, Giolito is lined up to face McKenzie in the makeup game vs Cleveland on Thursday. 

Let’s uhhh not.

Gotta rearrange things so Cease starts there. He’s currently slated to the start the day before vs the Rockies.

Twins just not gonna help us.

Twins cut it to 6-4 with a ninth inning rally!  Don’t stop now…

Clase barely got out of there. I’m glad they are at least making these guys work for it. Huge games coming up against the Guardians.

Let the Twins fall all the way out. Them having nothing to play for the last week would be nice. We just need to handle Cleveland. And that starts with not starting Giolito next Thursday.

Interesting idea.  I like it just for the sake of putting him in a game with playoff-level pressure to get more experience.  

Would be awful nice to have Twins win one tomorrow. At least Cleveland catches the Angels next series with Trout on fire and team playing better. 

Thursday afternoon game is going to be massive.

As it stands now, I have the Sox at 85 wins and Cleveland at 86. The last 9 games are rough for us while Cleveland gets KC for 6 games at home. We need to beat Cleveland head to head if we want the division.

As it should be.

Yes. Sox need to go into that stretch with a couple game lead. KC also isn’t awful, they could easily win 2-3 of those. But your point remains. 

Unless they wet the bed in their six games against Minnesota, the White Sox have a decent chance of finishing in second. A second place finish would the consolation prize for their trainwreck of a season.

Disagree - the Twins would LOVE to play spoiler to us.

Keep them motivated against all teams. Don't give them the luxury of circling the Sox games on their calendars. Make them face the Sox after a long, hard, arduous grind.

I mean they should have wanted to win the division too, but that sure didn't help them against Cleveland.

True.

Still, I would rather face them sputtering across the finish line than "rested up" and motivated to play spoiler.

Ah the good old 2nd place in a weak division.  JRs favorite position in the standings. 

Numbers not good only Tony can fix it.

Yeah a twins win to keep their hope alive is pretty damn important today.

Winder is pretty nasty fwiw but he’s not gonna go deep 

F*ck you, Twins. Runners at the corners with no outs and can’t score. 

Magic Number on each other:

Guardians on Sox - 21

Sox on Guardians- 26

Games left- Cle 24/Sox 21

Guardians magic number goes down by 3 next head to head win vs Sox

So this means that if the Guardians win just 12 more games, the Sox would have to win at least 13 of their last 21. 

Guardians go 14-10 with one win vs Sox

Sox go 15-6

Sox go home

Go Angels

Yeah there's not a whole lot margin for error.
