Kepler just tied it. Can't expect the Tigers to do our work for us...

The week started needing to split with Cleveland and win a game against the Cubs, with just one loss by the Twins. That hasn’t changed, but damn it’s going to be tough. Giolito needs to be an ace, and the bats have to do enough.

Can’t imagine how even more tense tonight’s game would have been if it was the old wild card postseason instead of the 8 team one.

Quite frankly, that’s what’s missing for me. These games suck, but it really doesn’t hurt in the usual baseball way.

And conversely, the last Twins win last week would have been that much more enjoyable.

The good news is there is really no way the next 3-4 years that the Sox should miss out on the postseason.

This is my prediction for the rest of the season.

 

Wednesday:

Sox  lose vs Indians

Twins win vs Tigers


(Down .5 everyone panics)

 

Thursday:

Sox win vs  Indians

Twins off

(Tie but the Sox have the Tie Breaker)

 

Friday:

Sox win vs Cubs

Twins win vs Reds

 

Saturday:

Sox win vs Cubs

Twins lose vs Reds 



(CLINCH DIVISION TITLE)

 

Sunday:

Doesn’t matter

This.

The team, even if the crap the bed for the next 5 games and get blown out swept in the first round... will be completely humbled by that. They’ll be crushed. Demoralized. Put out to pasture. They’ll see the glaring missed opportunities and the holes in their game.

And they’ll sit on that for a few months.

The talent is there. They’ll experience more drive. They’ll get better. They’ll mature and grow. 

Even if they lose out from here, I’ll still in the single way... be happy.

4 and 1? So you think that the Twins will win out?

I think they win today and get 2/3 from the Reds. That’s 37-23. That requires Sox to go 4-1 to win division outright at 38-22.

Plus there is Cleveland who if Sox lose next two are 1 GB with 3 left with Pittsburgh.

Tiebreakers go to...

Sox/Min...White Sox

Sox/Cle...Indians

Min/Cle...Twins

Twins are a half game back, but they have to win it outright, so it’s really like they’re 1.5 back. Sox just need to take care of their own wins. Tonight would be a good confidence builder.
