Thursday afternoon would be good. Win it on the field rather than the Mariners losing at midnight Wednesday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the Sox clinch in 2005 in Minnesota? I seem to remember Paulie popping a beer and sliding into home during the celebration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdGen Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 The Sox magic number for the division is currently 11. If you assume Minnesota is the second place team winning two of the next three is huge, as it would give them the tiebreaker meaning they would only need to get the magic number down to 1 to clinch the division title.

flavum Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Interesting. Guess that makes sense. Win tonight and it really makes sense...and it would mean we’re closer to clinching the division. I seem to remember in 2005 because of all the tiebreaker scenarios at the time, the Sox didn’t know they could clinch in Detroit until that morning.

We thought they had a good chance so took the morning drive to Detroit. About 4,000 there, a few thousand Sox fans, the rest Detroit fans. Will always be a great memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a pretty good chance this ends up happening (Twins 4 and Yankees 5), and I can't think of a worse matchup for the Twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Magic Number: 2 So today could be clinch day, but it may happen around midnight. Sox win, Tigers and Mariners lose. Edited September 16, 2020 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
