ALC Central Race : Magic Numbers

 

KCR: 163 - 60 - 54 = 49

SOX: 163 - 59 - 51 = 53

MIN: 163 - 56 - 51 = 57

 

Thank you E-LO, Wunsch, & Marte!

And of course The Big Hurt!

 

 

Let's get them tomorrow & hopefully the Minny Mice will lose again, & the SOX will be just 2 back in the Magic Number column.

 

GO WHITE SOX!

 

I think the first team to get to 30 will win the division.

Thank you Bart!

 

JM <- :bang, :nono more tinkering or stupid pitching moves!

Please, for the love of SOX fans cut the crap out.

 

You don't take out Bart when he has a 2 hit shutout with 99 pitches.

Get a F'g clue or you'll mismanage this team out of the race.

 

 

GO WHITE SOX!

Get a F'ing clue and know what the hell is going on before you go spouting off... Remember the trainer going out to see Colon in the 8th... He said he felt a twinge in his back, so the "tinkerer" looking for the best interest of his big money pitcher and team, decided not to risk further injury and took him out.

Take an anger mgmt course. Sheesh.

I read about his twinge the next day & told a buddy of mine we owe Manuel an apology. For that instance only.

 

He has many more instances for which blame is appropriate. :lol:

Ahhhhhh ... it feels so good to do the update today :lol:

 

Magic Numbers

 

SOX: 163 - 61 - 54 = 48

KCR: 163 - 60 - 54 = 49

MIN: 163 - 58 - 54 = 51

 

Any combination of 48 SOX wins or losses by both (KC & MIN) & the SOX win the division! :D

 

I had a feeling that KC would struggle vs TAM because Pinella has them playing better of late (winning 7 of last 10).

 

As you can see MIN is still within striking distance having won 7/10 as well.

 

For you sCrUB fans:

SOX .530 winning %, sCrUBs .518 winning %.

:fthecubs :sosasucks :whip

Checking the schedule:

I think the SOX will continue to do well at home: 10-3 last 13.

2-1 vs A's, 1-3 @ ANA, 2-1 @ TEX, 2-1 vs ANA, 3-1 vs TEX, 1-2 @ NYY

1-2 @ DET, 1-1 @ BOS, 2-1 vs CLE, 3-1 vs MIN, 1-2 @ BOS, 1-2 @ MIN

2-1 vs KCR, 2-1 vs NYY, 3-1 @ KCR

 

27-21 reducing their Magic Number to ..

SOX: 163 - 88 - 59 = 16

 

Outside of H2H we need KC & MN to lose 16 more.

With only 47 games left how is our magic # 48? Does that include a tie breaker game? If so, then doesn't the next KC loss drop the # by 2?

If you are in the lead:

Magic Number = 163 - (leader's wins) - (contenders losses).

 

If you are trailing:

Magic Number = 163 - (contender's wins) - (leaders losses).

It's a DOG FIGHT all the way thru!

 

KC best case will pick up 7 losses betw NYY & MN. 5 more bet ANA & TEX. 1 vs ARI. 4 more betw CLE & DET. 17 total.

 

MN best case will pick up 15 losses betw DET, CLE, ANA, KCR, & TEX.

 

We may need to sweep MIN in 1 of the series.

Mark B: SX 10-4 in his last 14 starts & 9-1 in last 10.

Apr: SX 2-5, 18R, 39ip -> small bats

May: SX 1-4, 32R, 28ip, -> 10 unearned runs, small bats

Jun: SX 3-3, 18R, 40ip -> small bats

Jul: SX 6-0, 20R, 42ip, -> 5 unearned runs, small bats

Aug: SX 1-1, 8R, 14ip -> good

 

Bart C: Best pitcher on both teams right now

Apr: SX 3-3, 18R, 40ip -> small bats

May: SX 3-2, 16R, 38ip -> small bats

Jun: SX 2-4, 23R, 42ip -> small bats

Jul: SX 2-3, 13R, 32ip -> small bats

Aug: SX 2-0, 1R, 16ip -> The DOMINATOR !!!!!!!!!!

 

E-LO: The Rock. Steady & dominating all season.

Apr: SX 5-0, 5R, 36ip -> The DOMINATOR

May: SX 3-3, 11R, 37ip -> small bats

Jun: SX 4-2, 14R, 42ip -> The DOMINATOR, small bats

Jul: SX 3-2, 10R, 35ip -> The DOMINATOR, small bats

Aug: Sx 1-0, 2R, 6ip ->

 

Jon G: the SOX have won 50% of this #4's starts.

Apr: SX 2-3, 18R, 25ip -> not bad

May: SX 2-3, 14R, 30ip -> very good, small bats

Jun: SX 3-3, 19R, 38ip -> good, small bats

Jul: SX 4-1, 14R, 31ip -> best month, big bats

Aug: SX 0-1, 4R, 5ip -> just 1 start

 

Dan W: Has always been lucky with big bats. SOX are 6-6 in DW's starts.

May: SX 2-3, 18R, 25ip

Jun: SX 3-1, 10R, 24ip -> best month, big bats

Jul: SX 1-1, 10R, 6ip -> big bats

Aug: SX 0-1, 5R, 5ip -> no bats

 

Even as weak as Danny's looked, he's a lucky charm for the SOX.

He was 14-12 last yr. Some times it's better to be lucky than good :D:

 

Whether it's Cotts or Danny I think the level of play by the front 3 is incredible right now. With big bats I can see 28-29 wins in the last 47 starts. That should be enough to win the division.

Garland hasn't had 2 bad starts in a row. He's had 1 bad start in a row. In his start against the Royals, he pitched fine. Manuel was just a dips*** and took him out in the 6th inning, and Garland had only thrown 79 pitches. Jon was good for another inning or two, and had Manuel left Jon in there, the Sox would have won, guaranteed.
