right now we're 6.5 games behind Detroit and 2 ahead of Boston the in WC

 

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to win the division, but does anyone think our chance of the WC over a Boston team that we're already ahead of and has both a questionable pitching staff and hitting outside of 3-4 much better than gaining and keeping the lead and the central.

 

Right now, Boston losing three to Detroit and us winning 4 against KC puts us 5.5 ahead of them!! Whereas three Detroit losses and 4 wins by us, still has us at best 2 games behind Detroit, assuming we even win today.

 

Might be defeatest thinking, but time is short.....

Boston, the division isn't over.

Neither.

Let them trade wins while the Sox streak, and the Sox gain on both.

The Sox can take care of their own business vs. Detroit later.

I think a lot depends on today's game. A win today and you still have a shot at the division. A loss and it really is a longshot. I know its "only" a 2 game swing, but I still think that is how it is.

Just root for the whitesox. They need to take care of business first.

If we beat KC, then those matchups benefit us, no matter who wins.

Just root for the whitesox.

...if they don't win it's a shame....

Just root for the whitesox. They need to take care of business first.

 

THIS IS HOW I FEEL

Neither.

:yeahthat:

i thinnk there was alot more confliction when we were down 8 or 9 games to detriot after minny had just swept us and then they played each other...minny had just tied us in the standings mind you.

um i'm not. c'mon boston, kick some DEtroit arse!!!

 

i want this division

I hope Boston takes 2 of 3. That way the Sox can maintain their lead on the Sawks while gaining on the Tigers.

what ever happens happens. as long as we keep winning, things will take care of themselves.

I want one team to sweep the other.

Whatever happens happens in that series, I just want the Sox to go out and work on playing good baseball each and every day. We do that and we should be just fine.

Boston.

As long as we take care of business against KC, it's a no lose situation for us.

I'm just worrying about the Sox right now. The Sox can't control how the Red Sox or Tigers do unless they play them.

Like it's been said, root for the Sox...if they don't win, it doesn't matter wtf Boston or Detroit do.

 

That said, I agree with fathom in hoping for a sweep. I'd prefer it be Boston, but either way, a sweep either gives you two close races, or a pretty sizeable lead(unless of course Minnesota sweeps whoever the hell they're playing) along with another overcomeable deficit.

If the first 2 games of this series had gone the other way, I'd be rooting for Detroit. But until we're out of the division, every Detroit loss brings up a half game closer. I hope the Carmines sweep them.

I know one thing...I'd rather be going head to head for the division than the wild card, cause we may have that as a fall back plan.

 

Not to mention we have a bit more control over the division (since we still have a few more games vs the Tigers) than we would in the wild card race.

GO BOSTON GO

 

 

THIS DIVSION IS OURS LETS GO AND GET IT

 

the wild card can be our saftey net, we are reigning champions, we cant let the pussy cats come taking s*** from our refridgerator

Let's just sweep KC and let the chips fall where they may.

If we take care of buisness and beat the fishing Royals, we gain ground on somebody everyday, which is good news.

This is a no-lose situation if we take care of our own business. I'll be cheering for the Red Sox. I want the division.
