GreatScott82 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 If the Sox play .500 baseball the rest of the way they will finish: 89-73 that might just be enough to win the division, but thats pushing it. I see them at least playing .600 ball the rest of the way and finishing: 102-60. Hey it can happen? Gotta believe baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 QUOTE(upnorthsox @ May 9, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Uhm, make that the last 3. Yeah so I forgot about it, oh well. But we don't really need to be talking about the best starts anymore. I hate having a 2 game losing streak or even longer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
