September 19, 200520 yr I heard a funny take on the radio. The Sox are actually losing on purpose in order to secure the wildcard. The reason behind this is b/c the past few World Series Champions have come through via the wildcard. Not a bad idea...at least it explains the losing.

Cause I tink you crazy!
September 19, 200520 yr Its not funny to joke about the sox purposely losing. Considering their bad history with that...... :banghead
September 19, 200520 yr That's about as dumb as the people who think the Sox are better off not making the playoffs instead of winning the Wild Card.

See, I think if we win the divison and face Anaheim, it will be very tough. If we lose the division and win the WC and possibly face the East, then I like our chances.
September 19, 200520 yr Our Wildcard magic # is 8. For those of you who think we will make it via the wildcard.

It is the NL's turn to have a Wild Card winner win it all. Anaheim(AL)-Florida(NL)-Boston(AL)-??? Maybe they'll let us and Houston switch for the next 2 months.
