We have 15 of the last 17 days of the regular season covered. No one went out on a limb and picked an October date -- how about that!

Just relooked at my entry, I picked a date - then figured their total wins based on the MFY playing the same level of ball as they have all year and I'm not sure now if they play that well they'll get eliminated that early.

Oh, well, I look good because my entry is at the top of the list. :)

SoSock said...

Nix - That link is GREAT!
I'm eating it up. I almost wondered if it were one of our group posing, but decided not. It's real.
And I'm now thinking I'll be about 3 days early on my prediction because the Vile Rays are going to drop off just a little.
Hopefully just enough.

Hmm, I looked at the schedules of the Rays, Sox and MFY, basically guessed which games they'd win and lose. I had MFY playing decent ball, and the sox and rays basically with identical records when it was all said and done. Meaning the sox would end up with the wildcard.

Then I used their E# on MLB.com as of Tuesday or whatever (think it was 29), and counted the amount of sox wins and mfy losses i estimated to come up with sept 24...

I'm a little disappointed that more people didn't pick WS-n for the last sox win, dammit! and L-girl, tsk tsk...oh well, realistically i COULD see it...but i went with the optimistic route on this one. Plus I bought a sofa at Jordan's and I want my money back. (Not really though).

tim said...

i don't get the 9/12 entries...for that to happen, basically the sox will need to win every game they play until then, AND the yankees lose every game they play from now until then

Rob said...

One thing I realized... I don't really like my two tie-break answers... But I'm the only one who's chosen 9.25, so there wouldn't need to be a tie break.

tim said...

Ish, I was actually teetering on 9/24 and 9/25 for awhile...now that I see the entries, should've went with the 9/25, given you some competition!

nixon33 said...

tim, wishful thinking homebuy. (9/12)

nixon33 said...

homeBOY, rather.

nixon33 said...

ish their starting to play that tito spot regularly now!

laura k said...

and L-girl, tsk tsk...

I'll be thrilled to be wrong! But Allan said go with what I really think, not just what I wish for. So there it is.

laura k said...

i don't get the 9/12 entries.

Neither do I, I just picked a date that was sooner rather than later.

I already have the stupid DVD set anyway. :)

Nix, that link is great. everybody else: if you only read one blog entry today (outside of JoS), read the "if your Yankees were a corporation" one on that site, with the complex but perfect analogy of Alex rodriguez to a copier machine. Who said literature was dead?

And what the fuck does he want to do, exactly? DFA him? He has my vote for that...
