We' have to get this thread going.

Both the Yanks and Sox have Magic Numbers right now.

Looks like the Yanks have two of them :)

SKD....putting down some cushion to pad the fall!:laugha: Thats what most typical Sox fans are like.....always waiting for the other shoe to drop, never confident 100% that we will win it all......like Yankee fans are! Yankee fans not only expect it....they demand it!:( Damn Yankee fans!;)

isnt the magic number 4 in the wildcard? the al west pounds each other and the most wins a second place team could get is 95.....sox have 91........magic number is 4?:faga:

still the same for old NY.

Sox could (and I say could) get them by Monday :eek:

but then again it could go the other way, no ? :D

NY needs a win before the sox series

Go SOX...... and I will never be a fair weather fan, make it or not they are MY home town team. I would never ever be a spanks fan.. " I can wait, and I will never tire of waiting.." Sweep this weekend.......It could happen....No "Truer" fans than Sox fans, real baseball fans...:bgi:

FLASH: these are close to meaningless regular season games this weekend. You guys are happy jockeying for a wild card position??? After being heartbroken so many times, how do you get so excited this early? You guys have been one out away from winning it all...what's the big deal about a wild card position, or a playoff series? You need to win it all in order to experience any kind of satisfaction. I don't want to see you guys peak too soon. Relax for a while, wait till some progress is made, then go crazy. You'll win a series and earn the right to celebrate soon, I'm sure.

close to meaningless games...? 3.5 games seperating for al east with 11 to go, 3 head to head... jockeying for al east is more like it.

In any playoff round, you guys have the pitching advantage over the Yanks.. Hence, meaningless games. Home field is irrelevant versus superior pitching. Sox get the edge.

doom, gloom, negitivity, i sure hope the sox go all the way for the sake of a certain closet sox fan:D i'll buy ya a few cold ones!

28"- to any true sox fan no yankee game is meaningless. maybe it's part of our inferiority complex:)

I know but it is a relief, as a fan, to get stoked about making the playoffs. Joe Torre won't let his players go there so I did. hehe. And, if they did, and then lost the division it would be an interesting twist to the end of the season. Especially considering the way it began.

As well. it then would make the 1st round a wild one ....

Good that they're in the playoffs, even if it does mean the wildcard spot. Should be another interesting series if the yanks play the sox. One can only hope...

As of today.....1. If they end in a tie at the end of the season, Boston gets it due to a better head to head record .

The Dad Fisherman
09-30-2004, 07:33 AM
They don't do Head to Head, There'd be a 1 game Playoff to decide

afterhours
09-30-2004, 07:40 AM
don't think it matters much now. if they did tie it would be decided by head to head record. only way there would be a one game playoff is if only one of the the teams would'nt make playoffs, since both are in it's head to head.
