Boston is currently 72-75, so the team could end up with anywhere from 72 to 87 wins.
This poor performance means most of the entries in this year's W-L contest are merely wistful dreams of what might have been. But is there any chance someone will win?
Yes. Two entries are still in contention.
W-L
Rich G. 85-77
Brett H. 82-80
Rich needs the Red Sox to finish 13-2, while Brett is hoping for a 10-5 record over the next two weeks.
The rest of the schedule (nb days off):
Sep 21 at CIN Sep 22-25 at MFY Sep 26-29 vs BAL Sep 30-Oct 2 at TOR Oct 3-5 vs TBR
Talking of wistful dreams.
ReplyDeleteThe Great Britain Baseball team qualified for the World Baseball Classic yesterday.
A massive achievement. We beat three teams ranked higher than us.
France , Germany and Spain ( who we beat 10-9 in 10 inns ).
But what about the tiebreaker? Maybe that's a non-starter, too, since there wasn't any trade clause. Commissioner, I think you should make a ruling before the end of the season...
ReplyDeleteEvery win total from 88 to 98* is covered, so I feel fairly confident we'll have a winner this season.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
Go GB?
ReplyDeleteTo win a game at WBC will be massive. There's been a spike of interest , which is great.
