IndplsSoxFan Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I heard a funny take on the radio. The Sox are actually losing on purpose in order to secure the wildcard. The reason behind this is b/c the past few World Series Champions have come through via the wildcard. Not a bad idea...at least it explains the losing.

fathom Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 That's about as dumb as the people who think the Sox are better off not making the playoffs instead of winning the Wild Card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A psychologist would have a field day with some of the defense mechanisms I've seen by people on this board lately. My personal favorite is that the Sox have nothing to lose.

See, I think if we win the divison and face Anaheim, it will be very tough. If we lose the division and win the WC and possibly face the East, then I like our chances.

Not a bad idea...at least it explains the losing. I would buy it, but there is 1 problem. It is the NL's turn to have a Wild Card winner win it all. Anaheim(AL)-Florida(NL)-Boston(AL)-??? Maybe they'll let us and Houston switch for the next 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
