July 8, 200520 yr I have to say, there was a number of other things I thought this thread would be about when I clicked on the title.
July 8, 200520 yr Amazing to think there is a very real chance the Sox can have the division wrapped up before the end of August.
July 8, 200520 yr I've got tickets to the Minnesota game on my birthday and I hope we've completely shut them down by that time or we do it that night. That would be a killer present for me.
July 8, 200520 yr If the Sox play .500 the rest of the way, the Twins will have to go 51-28 just to catch us. Neither looks likely. You can extrapolate from this to see that the Sox would have to suffer a total breakdown to lose the division. For example, if the Sox go only 9 games above .500 for the remaining games, the Twins would have to go 60-19 just to tie us. Virtually impossible. Edited July 8, 200520 yr by nvxplorer

And people say those games early in the season don't mean anything.
July 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) And people say those games early in the season don't mean anything. What cracks me up are the Twins fans I read at the CBS forums. They're still dreaming. They're predicting the Sox will choke, just like they have been since April. They've resorted to comparing this team to the last two, where there is no comparison. One idiot mentioned Loaiza - why, I don't know. Another moron was so clever. He wrote White Sux. How original! It must suck being a Twins fan, but I have no sympathy.
July 8, 200520 yr Normally I like to wait until August to start the countdown for any team but what the heck, this team has earned it.
July 8, 200520 yr I follow WHarris1's Magic Number count down thing, that's how i know. He's had it like all season, but im more interested when that magic number is 0. Edited July 8, 200520 yr by sayitaintso
July 8, 200520 yr is this counting the loss by the twins today, im sure it is, nice to see the number so low

But as long as that magic number keeps fallin, it'll be a sweet ride to october.

July 8, 200520 yr The White Sox losing the division at this point would be a historical event on the scale of the Red Sox coming back to beat the Yankees in the ALCS in 2004.
