Around SBN: 2011 In Extreme Home Runs

division series

Trying to find out the following - assuming the Indians have the homefield advantage in the upcoming divisional series, which of the five games will be their home games? The rest of this is filler! I was fortunate enough to be selected in the 2nd phase of the lottery and bought tix for the second home game. So now I'm trying to figure out what date that might be under each of the two scenarios (with and without homfield advantage). Then I need to make travel arrangements from Boston. Thanks.

Re: division series
ALDS with Homefield Advantage

Games 1, 2, and 5 (If Nec.)

ALCS and WS with Homefield Advantage

Games 1, 2, 6 (if Nec.) and 7 (if Nec.)

Re: division series
FYI, here is the link for the postseason schedule (barring postponements) link

Team with best record (except Wild Card) gets home field. In DS, that would be 1, 2, and 5. In CS, that would be 1, 2, 6, and 7.

In WS, AL has home field, 1, 2, 6, and 7.

Re: division series
Thanks to Mikebrowns26 and talonk for answering my question. And thanks to sbricker for his analysis. Also enjoyed the geometric discussion which somehow evolved in this thread. However, you guys missed the greatest closer of them all --- The Determinant.

Re: division series
Okay, to simplify this, lets say the Redsox maintain their lead on the Yankees and the Yankees are the Wild Card.

My assumption is that if the Indians or the Angles have their pick, they will take the series starting Wed.  If the Redsox get to pick, they will choose the one that starts Thur.

If the Standings finish:

Scenario A1:
Indians
Redsox
Angles

We play the Yankees at the Jake Wed/Fri, Possibly Wed.

Scenario A2:
Redsox
Indians
Angles

We play the Yankees at the Jake Wed/Fri, Possibly Wed.

Scenario A3:
Indians
Angles
Redsox

We play the Yankees at the Jake Wed/Fri, Possibly Wed.

Scenario B1:
Angels
Indians
Redsox

We play the Redsox at the Jake Thur/Fri, possibly Wed.

Scenario C1:
Redsox
Angles
Indians

We play the Redsox at the Jake Sun, possibly Mon.

Scenario C2:
Angles
Redsox
Indians

We play the Redsox at the Jake Sun, Possibly Mon.

Long story short:  We want the finish ahead of the Angels in the Standings.  The Red Sox seem to matter much less.

Re: division series
The Angels don't scare me so  much, but it's this Angles team I think we need to look out for. They've bee sharp lately, and are known to inlfict acute damage on opposing pitching staffs. They just know how to do things right and have had Pythagorous on their side this year.

Re: division series
Nah, the Angles are too busy colonizing England to be much of a threat in the playoffs.

It's not that unusual to see their fans brandish "Go Angles!" signage.

Re: division series
Yeah, that lineup is a terror:

1B Right
2B Obtuse
3B Acute
SS Oblique (he is very injury prone)
LF Scalene
CF Isosceles
RF Rectangled (Right's brother)
C Equilateral
DH Hypotenuse

Rotation: Ceva, Euclid, Menelaus, Euler, Thales
Closer: Feuerbach
Set-Up: Sine and Cosine

Manager Pythagoreus

Re: division series
Sine and Cosine coming out of the bullpen is a scary pair.

Somehow, though, I feel like we've gone off on a tangent here...

Re: division series
The thing that you have to admire about the Angles is how they make use of their platoons.  Not only Sine and Cosine in the bullpen, but Secant and Cosecant usually share duty in the outfield and Tangent and Cotangent can take care of first base.  They really take advantage of their lefty/righty splits.

Re: division series
Sine and cosine are all right, but the Angles have no Circle of Trust.

Re: division series
Also!

I hear Obtuse is a second basemen in the mold of Ronnie Belliard.

This joke's pretty formulaic if you ask me. It works out the same EVERY TIME you use it.

Legitimate LOL on that one, Jay. Kudos.

Re: division series
between 'angles' and 'jambs', i'm clearly letting my work affect my life outside of work.  pretty soon i'll be calling for grady to 'steel' second and for guys to demolish bathrooms, oh wait...
