RIOT says 22.

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-01 02:55:23 +0000

First Place Clinch is 22, which guarantees at least a tie for first. So, 23 works too.

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-01 02:57:00 +0000

Over in the NL Central, the RIOT listing is a bit interesting. The Brewers are currently in second place, but even if they win all of their remaining games, it's possible that they could miss the playoffs. The third place Cards can guarantee a playoff berth with 29 additional wins.

The Central has been a lot of fun to watch.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-02 08:18:48 +0000

22.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-02 10:28:33 +0000

Sox win 3-2; Yanks lose 8-2: 20.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-03 09:38:36 +0000

Yanks lose to Seattle: 19. (And Seattle pulls within one of the Wild Card.)

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-03 20:42:20 +0000

13-10 tonite: 18. Look for me, vrtue, CTB, respectless, austin and a bunch of spear carriers with a 'We (heart) roadsteamer' sign at tonite's

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-03 20:43:25 +0000

L: RIOT is to clinch a tie. Why would we wanna do that?

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-04 03:49:04 +0000

I think the algorithm is easier to calculate a clinch to tie, not that it's desirable. The avoid elimination numbers a bit more meaningful. Tampa Bay cannot win the division, even if they run the table.

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-04 03:50:27 +0000

L: If New York runs the table, it's not enough for them to guarantee a tie for first place.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-04 17:10:36 +0000

5-3 Sox (attended by me, CTP, Virtue, Respectless and Austin): 17.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-06 19:55:06 +0000

'Tek, Coco and Buchholz: 16.

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-07 00:09:21 +0000

Birds now eliminated from first place contention. Yankees still need 7 wins to tie for first. Seattle is starting to fade. They need 4 additional wins to make the wild card, up from 2 last week.

Posted by tommy on 2007-09-07 02:13:06 +0000

My Brewers now back in control of their own destiny.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-09 10:51:12 +0000

2 of 3 this weekend: 14.

Saw Roadsteamer last night on Sox Appeal. Laugh riot! He chose well. I was impressed that she took him up on the hot dog eating contest.

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-10 09:54:19 +0000

Brewers on a roll.

Posted by mahatma chani on 2007-09-11 04:49:16 +0000

She was a plant by the show's producers, FWIW.

Ack! That's reality TV for ya, damn hoodwinkers.

Posted by cdubrocker on 2007-09-11 05:14:03 +0000

So she and Roadsteamer never even really had a subsequent date after all that?

Posted by mahatma chani on 2007-09-11 10:48:47 +0000

Fairly inspired prank.

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-11 15:20:17 +0000

Too bad it's FAKE.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-11 17:34:00 +0000

Shit is amazing.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-11 17:34:17 +0000

L: 13.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-09-12 01:56:37 +0000

I don't have any context between the two male friends, but watching that one video made me think that the pranker was a tool (probably the prankee as well - people in the prank(ee/er)'s immediate circle are all now subject to these two guys shrapnel involuntarily). Did you see the look of glee on the prankee's face? Kinda sickening. On one level it is humorous, but I feel bad about laughing. Messing with people on an emotional level is a little too hardcore for me. It reminds me of that Neil Labute 'In The Company Of Men' flick.

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-12 02:17:49 +0000

The prankee was acting, and bad acting at that. Yeah, it'd be crass if it was real... but I seriously doubt it. Although, an actual marriage proposal in the middle of the fifth inning of a Yankees game? Against the Mariners? Who's the sicko?

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-12 05:23:37 +0000

I went back and watched the other five pranks these kids pulled on each other. They did some hilarious/brutal shit to each other, and each one escalated the war beyond proportions of the last. I can't wait to see number seven.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-12 16:04:37 +0000

Twelve.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-14 06:37:59 +0000

Eleven. Big ups to Frank Thomas.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-15 12:52:27 +0000

Nine. Single digits!

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-17 05:54:46 +0000

Still nine.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-09-17 06:19:53 +0000

thanks Jeter.

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-18 08:53:02 +0000

Ni! Ni! Nine!

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-19 01:34:44 +0000

Nein!

Posted by mahatma chani on 2007-09-19 01:44:08 +0000

I know this sport's a marathon and not a race, but I'd begin to be a bit worried right around now Sox fans. And should the Yankees win this division, you'll never hear the end of it.

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-19 01:51:26 +0000

1978 was a bigger slide. Or comeback, if you prefer. The Olde Towne Teame hasn't played horribly in the second half (although the past 7 days is another thing altogether), it's the MFY playing incredibly well. A division win is a division win, whether it's by 2 or 10 games. Or like two years ago when the season records where tied, but the MFY had an edge in the head-to-head series tally.

Posted by mahatma chani on 2007-09-19 02:12:54 +0000

I think you made my point. You brought up 78 as a "it wasn't as bad as that year" case. The Yankees fans will bring it up and so "it's deja vu all over again."

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-19 02:30:31 +0000

Un-astute Yankee fans who make poor comparisons aren't really bothersome to me. 2000! 2000! 2000!

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-19 05:34:06 +0000

We almost took two of three from the Yankees without Manny or Youk. I refuse to buy into this sky is falling bullshit.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-09-19 05:43:58 +0000

REPUBLICAN ASSHOLE!

Sox win; Yanks lose in extras: Seven.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-09-22 14:42:51 +0000

Six - big ups to Lugo and 'Tek.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-09-22 16:01:08 +0000

Fucking awesome game tonight. Right outta the Belichick school: every one of those guys was talking about staying focus (sic) and winning the division. I like it.

Posted by tgl on 2007-09-24 02:14:12 +0000

Six. Can the Tigers win 5 of 6 to stay in the Wild Card race?

Posted by emitime on 2007-09-25 01:22:57 +0000

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh WAKE UP PAUL MORPHY, I'LL DRILL HIM IN THE ASS! (sorry dwayne, i've been dying to yell that for about a month now.) gawd. can we please win the next two so that burning sensation in my stomach subsides?

Posted by MF DU on 2007-09-29 03:05:20 +0000

Zero! Boston Red Sox American East Champs! Big ups to Jay Payton and Chad Bradford and Melvin Mofoing Mora! Bunt of the Year! Yankees lose and get nothing! Good Day Sir! (Um well I guess MFY are still in the playoffs, but still...)
