Wednesday: Phillies lost twice, Giants lost, Sox lost, Reds lost, A's lost

 

32 days left

 

Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick:

 

1. Phillies(30) - 35

2. Giants(27) - 30

3. White Sox(31)

4. Reds(29) - 28

5. A's(29) - 26

 

how can we compete with teams losing twice in one day? f***ing cocksuckers.

Top 2 and I'm happy. The only reason being that I've never been a rabid fan and obsessively observed a draft with us picking above 3.

 

The Rodon draft at 3 was the bomb digity and I wanna top it.

 

For shizzle my nizzles.

 

To be fair, the Sox took advantage of a couple prospects that had helium (Aiken and Kolek) while Rodon's stock was fading and they seemed to understand that Rodon was simply fatigued. We obviously know what happened after that.

 

As frustrating as the guy is, the dude is obviously a special talent. Just gotta hope that if he is as advertised, the Sox can re-sign him when the time comes. Williams was never able to deal with the Boras Corporation. Hahn can.

I remember it well and was alluding to that situation. In real time, it was electric. Wanna experience a top 2 pick now - preferably el numero uno.

Thursday: Phillies won, Giants lost, Sox lost, Reds won

 

31 days left

 

Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick:

 

1. Phillies(29) - 33

2. Giants(26) - 29

3. White Sox(30)

4. Reds(28) - 26

5. A's(29) - 25

 

If the Sox somehow go 14-16, the Reds would have to go 9-19 to have a better pick. The Sox are getting the 2nd or 3rd pick. Big series next weekend.

Need to find him a guy who can frame that slider.

You've got that right. Sox and Giants both on track for 64 wins. Giants have a tougher schedule.

 

Dropping 2 of 3 or all 3 by either team next weekend could very easily decide who gets #2.

Framing for those who believe in it probably doesn't affect a very high percentage of calls. Throwing it for a strike more often may get you the benefit of the doubt on close pitches more often from the ump.

If the Giants win, the White Sox will take back the #2 pick.

 

The Phillies will still lead the 1st pick by 2.5 games...

 

WE CAN DO THIS!

Seriously, stop counting games back and watch the win column.

 

We have won 1 game more than the Phillies, 1 game fewer than the Giants. That's where we really sit.

 

For whoever worried about the Tigers a moment ago, they have won 6 more games than us.
