YourWhatHurts Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) BTW we shouildnt celebrate until we win the division. It's not really celebration material to be the 8th seed. It looks like there will be at least 1 sub-.500 team in the NL, maybe 2, and maybe 1 in the AL also.

There's very little chance a team under .500 makes it in the AL. As of today, the 8th seed in the AL is 24-21 and it's the Yankees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team hasn’t seen postseason baseball in 12 years (same October I got married, feels like an eternity ago ha). It’s absolutely something to celebrate.

flavum Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 It’s 9 over the Orioles, but 8 if five of the eight are division games. Sox are playing the Tigers; Orioles are playing the Yankees. That’’s a potential of 4 the next couple days. If the Sox sweep the Tigers and beat the Twins three of four, good chance they clinch the 8-seed before flying to Cincinnati. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any playoff spot should be celebrated. Heck, a winning season should be celebrated with the way the team has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This franchise hasn't made the playoffs in 12 years and hasn't been close in 8. This team is loaded with guys who have never made a post-season. You celebrate. You celebrate like this is the start of something big and enjoy every minute of it. If you win the division, you celebrate again. These guys damned well should be living it up and proud of their accomplishments. Hell I know I will have a bottle of champagne ready to go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Also over in the NL only 7 teams are over .500. One is MIA at 21-20 who should be worse, another is SF at 23-22 which should be worse because they also suck, then STL is at 19-19. The 6-7-8 all has a shot at dropping below .500. I don't think the Sox are at a point where they should celebrate early. They have a better goal in mind. They should see the playoffs as a given at this point. Celebrating now would be like going into the bathroom to jerk off just after she takes her bra off and lets you touch her boobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be a smart ass, you might want to check your facts. The 8th seed in the AL this year has a record of 24-21. The 6 seed has a record of 22-23. Thanks for playing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know about some weird and totally illogical arrangement created by the rules. Still you said in your post that you don't think a sub-.500 team makes the playoffs, which is incorrect, because HOU is currently the last playoff team if the season ended today and they are below .500. It is pretty likely for 1 in the AL and up to 3 in the NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why no team that has celebrated a division win has ever won a world series. That's just a fact. In fact, I don't think we should even celebrate a world series win this year. We've all talked about how, if everything goes right, we might have a shot at a dynasty. Why give up any chance of that by celebrating after just one ring? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) In the words of Hawk with a 60 game special edition version. "For most teams you're going to win 22 games and you're going to lose 22 games. It's the other 16 games that make a difference." Let's finish strong and win this division.

I hope Hawk is plenty involved somehow during these years. That man has earned this too.

Just admit you were wrong and move on man. No point in arguing semantics when you didn't understand the playoff rules to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
