NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Those damn Twins keep hanging around. They have got to be the most annoying team to ever play any sport. Come to think of it every pro team that ever played in Minnesota has been annoying. I'm sure some of us remember the North Stars.

DonkeyKongerko Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Those Twins pissed me off in that Little Big League movie too. I was always a huge Ken Griffey Jr. fan and I'm glad he hit that HR and caught that fly ball at the end of the game. Who wants to see guys like Denny Hocking and AJ Pierzynski in the playoffs anyways?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Nice looking up and not seeing Pena's ass. The key now is to not let up. Split the next two with the A's and things will look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 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. ALC Central Race : Magic Numbers KCR: 163 - 60 - 54 = 49 SOX: 163 - 60 - 52 = 51 MIN: 163 - 56 - 51 = 57 Thank you Bart! JM <- , 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! I think the first team to get to 30 will win the division. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Ahhhhhh ... it feels so good to do the update today 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! 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorthsox Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Let's talk about the Twinks. Santana's starts: He's not been the phenom everyone said he would be.

JUGGERNAUT Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Let's talk about the SOX: 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 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 : 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night wasn't all his fault. Those 3 runs shoulda never scored in the 1st inning. Other then that he was fine. Lilly was just better...

witesoxfan Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
