And the Magic Number is..... ?
 

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 :)

doesn't look like any sox fans will contribute here until they are .5 back :rolleyes:

can't blame ya ;)

Its not that we won't contribute.........we just don't know what they are.

we'll know by next week prolly =]

yep'er

Might be a double header on Sunday. Think Spankee fans will remember Varitek stuffing his mitt into A-rods face :D

Dont know what it is for 1st place but just to be a wild card the sox have to win 9 more games..I think there is 17 left..Yanks have played 2 more games than us..Bring on the Yanks..Damn rain..

Magic number is 11!

yep and a lot less than that :laughs: , for a guaranteed wildcard :D

a win tonight puts the yankees through

sox looking good for the wild

this weekend is going to be a gas

7 for the wild card

Just end it already dammit!:smash:

I am all stocked up on aspirin, alcohol, and band aids for all you guys when you the Sox fall and skin their knees again!:rolleyes:

"Wait Till' Next Year......Again!" banners and bumper stickers are being printed now and should be done the same time the Red Sox are!:laugha:

hopped off the bandwagon again eh bf? :happy: :happy:

I never got on to begin with!:huh:

I gotta hand it to you Bigfish. you have stuck to your guns admirably this season :D

Years of disappointment BW has me well trained! I expect nothing more or less than disappointment....the ball never rolls our way!:(

i guess we know that BF will be there for us if sox crash and we yell medic!!:D

He couldnt catch the band wagon:D

Couple more weeks SKD and you guys will be leaping from the wagon as if it were on fire!;)

Nope never happen...If they dont make it this year..oh well..it was an interesting ride..At least the Sox arent 20,30 games out of it every year...:tm:

NNNNNNNNOOOOOO OOOOOOOO OOOoooooooooo :eek:

before my very eyes :eyes: they are feeling the ship starting to sink :eek:

this is great :laughs: :laughs:

sorry guys I gotta be able to laugh at that one.......:laughs:

this weekend will be something. Sox are WAY still in it...:D

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!;)

Why wouldn't they be that way?
The do win all the time!!!:laughs:

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

sox vs. yankees:) end of sept. jockeying for playoffs- it does'nt get any better than this:D......until end of oct. go sox!!

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.

Wait till' Minnesota kicks our butt in the first round!:huh: Its gonna happen!:(

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.

twins are the scariest team out there( besides baltimore ), but we can take them!

We face Minnesota and we will win only 1 game......Schilling's!:laughs:

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:)

Imagine that...me in a Sox cap? Drinkin's Sam's with my buddy AH, high atop the Green Monstah...:happy:

Yanks in :D

Afterhours is right. Al East Championship is at stake :D
