With the recent winning streak, and losses from Toronto and Baltimore... The Red Sox now have a magic number of 6 over the Jays to win the division.
Shall we count them down?
Shall we count them down?
And why would we wait for something bad, I believe in preemptive strikes where the baseball gods are concerned. They are capricious and not friends of ours.Well now we know who to sacrifice to the gods of BABIP should we need to
Me too. Where are your seats?I'll be at the game at Tampa Saturday night.
Agreed. Two words: Nelson Fucking Cruz. Jim Rice caught every ball hit to him in a Series clinching inning.And why would we wait for something bad, I believe in preemptive strikes where the baseball gods are concerned. They are capricious and not friends of ours.
'We'? I didn't know that you were a member of the Sox organization.I personally promise every single one of you that we will not blow this.
The last 13 years have been weird, Nip. Now I have to lose in epic ways vicariously through other teams.I personally promise every single one of you that we will not blow this.
Is there where a "fuck you Nip" follows?I personally promise every single one of you that we will not blow this.
Not until it gets moved to P&G.Is there where a "fuck you Nip" follows?
Good enough for me, Joe Willie Nipper!I personally promise every single one of you that we will not blow this.
Behind home plate. Either 102 or 104. Can't remember which one off top of my head.Me too. Where are your seats?
... but 100 wins is. SAD!You know 98 wins still isn't out of the question.
You can take that to the bank.I personally promise every single one of you that we will not blow this.
That's correct.With Toronto and Baltimore playing three times, isn't it actually 2 for at least a WC berth?

We're a bit rusty.Come on, guys. Get it together.
The Sox losses in late July / August were epic enough for me.The last 13 years have been weird, Nip. Now I have to lose in epic ways vicariously through other teams.
This site calculates the schedule adjusted magic numbers for reference:That's correct.
edit: added Magic #'s to standings
I know you all are Patriots fans, but some of us are not and it's special, and it was special as far back as 2013 to witness a modern legend. And that 3 years later it's just as special is so great. Ortiz is the stuff of sports history. Could you imagine Ted Williams in the Internet era? We watch baseball in a shadow those days it seems but players like Ortiz make you believe in magic.I can't overstate how grateful I am to know that we'll be able to see Papi perform in the playoffs one more time.
