[DCTribefan]

yes - and from above - a couple of my buddies have wondered if he makes it through the season, much less manage next season -- fingers crossed

Right let’s completely ignore he missed most of last season due to a variety of serious health issues.

Lol we have Miss Cleo posting on the board!

There it is, the rarest play in all of baseball......

..... A Miss Cleo reference.

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

101-win pace

Suck it, haters

Only if we play 121 games against Detroit and 41 against KC.

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Indians now in undisputed possession of first place and already separating from the pack.

 

[CDAV45]

Only if we play 121 games against Detroit and 41 against KC.

Yeah, before I get cocky I want to see what happens over the next 2 weeks. We come out of those series on a pace to win 101 then I'll be doing my dance.

He said it tongue in cheek yesterday. He's just committing to the gimmick

Controlling our own destiny. I like it.

 

[CATS44]

We start the week in first place...in spite of all the moaning and groaning about who plays first base and centerfield...and who leads off.

We are in first place, because our rotation and pen have been outstanding, because we haven't made many mistakes on defense, and because we have run the bases extremely well.

If we keep those three things up, we will contend.

What's our magic number?!

 

[bob2the2nd]

What's our magic number?!

i think its 156.

 

[mopete12]

What's our magic number?!

154 to guarantee at worst a tie (KC has the same number of losses). Of course we play KC a bunch more, so we both can’t win out, and I’m not sure how to take that into account.

There's also that little thingy about leading the majors in home run percentage. 24 of 37 runs have come on home runs. We're using the old Earl Weaver formula of pitching, defense, and power.
