July 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 05:03 PM) the list was 10. Darvish 9. Teheran 8. Kluber 7. Sale 6. Price 5. Wainwright 4. Richards 3. Cueto 2. Kershaw 1. Hernandez Pretty awful list. How in the heck is Scherzer not even on the list and Sale #7? Cueto 3? Richards 4? You gotta be bleeping me! IMO it's: Kershaw Sale Felix Scherzer Darvish And then a clear 2nd tier starting with maybe Price, Wainright and flavor of the week. Cueto and Richards this high is a joke. You can def chalk those stupid picks up to "guys that are good I watch on TV more often than other guys that are better".
July 26, 201411 yr I don't think there's much of an argument that Sale is better than Felix at the moment.

Sale has the better record, WHIP, more complete games, walks less people, gives up less hits, doesn't throw a s*** ton of wild pitches. Felix has the better ER numbers, strikes out slightly more, and has pitched 7 more starts due to Sale's DL trip. There's certainly an argument to be made for Sale but the numbers are all very close except for starts made.
July 26, 201411 yr Uh, Mr. Wite. If the Sox do indeed end up 4 games back, that puts the Sox dangerously close to Paris Hilton territory. I'm scared!
July 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 04:01 PM) If we win tonight we will only be 4 games out If the Sox win the next 4 and get to 54-54 with 54 left, I'll give them about a 10% shot of being the road team for the wildcard. I guess it's possible 85-77 wins it. So 35-23. It'll be tough, but stranger things have happened.

August 5, 201411 yr We are now 5 back again and finally made the MLB Network graphic of the AL standings!!
