Almost none. <BR/><BR/>At a certain moment in 2004, what were the odds the Red Sox would win the ALCS? Almost none.<BR/><BR/>Allan began this post with a statement about how anything can happen. I just want to underscore that.<BR/><BR/>Baseball is a funny game. By Sept 30, we could be 4 games up, and win the division with room to spare. <BR/><BR/>Right now the only thing that is lost is our comfortable lead.L-girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-39209550698002799872007-09-20T10:40:00.000-04:002007-09-20T10:40:00.000-04:00"If the Sox win and the Yankees lose tonight, what does it go up to?"<BR/><BR/>Or...on the other hand, if we accept reality, and the Sox lose (which they did) and the Yankees win (which they did), what are our odds of winning the division now? <BR/><BR/>What are the odds we will play better than .500 ball for the next nine games and win 95, Theo's articulated "goal" for the season?Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-70651101218984966662007-09-19T16:14:00.000-04:002007-09-19T16:14:00.000-04:00We shall see.redsockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-803173629297433872007-09-19T16:11:00.000-04:002007-09-19T16:11:00.000-04:00Tony, I was about to ask that! :)<BR/><BR/>If the Sox win and the Yankees lose tonight, what does it go up to?L-girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-78903087481211822962007-09-19T15:54:00.000-04:002007-09-19T15:54:00.000-04:00Don't worry, l-girl...if the Sox win today, it'll pop back up to like 84% or something, and that looks a *lot* better.Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16767283729509461237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-3406245704490100472007-09-19T15:45:00.000-04:002007-09-19T15:45:00.000-04:00The East numbers here make me queasy.
