Bump this thread every day the indians remain in the wild card lead

You'd think after getting to gloat for like 80+ years, the Yankee fans could tolerate a little ribbing.

But being an annoyance is not my goal, so I will lay off.

You should know better than to voice your excitement about the Indians in an Indians thread. You're fine. If they don't want to hear about it they should go back to the "Yank the Yankees" thread.

Bigtime bump.

Yankees or Boston, I don't care who is in second in the Wild Card.

Sox magic number for the Central is 9 -- wild card is 8. Assuming they go 7-4 in their final 11 games (which shouldn't be expecting much with 8 games against depleted Twins and Tigers teams), then the Tribe would have to go 9-1 in thier final 10 games to force a one game playoff. Assuming the same 7-4 record for the White Sox in their last 11 games, the Red Sox would have to finish a perfect 10-0 to force a one-game playoff for the wild card. Based on this, I think the White Sox are virtually a lock for the playoffs.

That said...as a beleagured Sox fan, I am disgusted with the way they've played the last 6 weeks. I'm tired of hearing "Hey, if you'd have told me at the beginning of the season that the would be 2 1/2 games up in the Central with 11 to play, I would have taken it in a heartbeat!" That's B.S. defeatist thinking. Because if I would have said in July when the Sox were cruising through the AL that they'd be up only 2 1/2 games with 11 to play and fighting for their playoff lives, I'd have been laughed at.

I've seen the light -- and it's very dim. This team should make the playoffs, but if they keep playing like this they'll be swept.

[KJS]

I will. Think the Indians really care how they make the playoffs? Would you?
