Listen, guys, we just need to reel off one of those 35-10 streaks and we are RIGHT BACK IN THIS THING.

by gte619n on Jun 9, 2008 10:37 PM EDT reply actions  

Actually, a decent sized winning “zone” would put us right back in it. I don’t want to call it a streak, because I’m hoping it’s just us returning to the level we’re capable of but we are still very much in this.

by gahnki on Jun 9, 2008 10:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

coolstandings.com has us at about 14% chance of getting to the playoffs. Oddly, 6.2% comes from wild card chances.

by Ryan Kelsey on Jun 9, 2008 10:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

How much do the numbers fluctuate on a daily basis?

by gahnki on Jun 9, 2008 10:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

well, yesterday it was 16.6%

by Ryan Kelsey on Jun 9, 2008 10:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

what the hell is coolstandings.com?

by supermarioelia on Jun 9, 2008 10:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

it uses current record and pyth stuff to come up with a model to come up with somewhat advanced chances of each team making the playoffs and/or winning the division.

by Ryan Kelsey on Jun 9, 2008 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

I was pretty sure that I found it through LGT last year, but maybe it was from a different site.

by Ryan Kelsey on Jun 9, 2008 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ok..I just checked out the site.

There’s no way the White Sox have an 85% chance of winning the division.

by gahnki on Jun 9, 2008 10:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

i like to look at this one but it has gotten much uglier for us in the last week.

by Brick. on Jun 9, 2008 10:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah it looks like they weren’t updating it properly through the season, so it was improperly inflating our chances.

Never mind. You can stay in Canada.

Along these same lines, some douche behind me yelled out “you suck Jahonny” yesterday at the game, so I gave him an LGT tirade explaining the spelling and why it is he, and not Jhonny’s parents who are in the wrong.

by supermarioelia on Jun 9, 2008 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

Thanks, Mhario. I’m glad you’re out there fighting the good fhight. Want to come to Denver for some games next week? It’s like Canada, only with different money!

is there any way every monday game can have pretty much exactly a one hour rain delay during House like tonight?

by Brick. on Jun 9, 2008 11:07 PM EDT reply actions  

only if we can score 8 before the delay/house. Also! you should invest in TiVo or DVR.

eh, no problems in the field, approach looked so-so at the plate. Still a free swinger, 0-4 with three flyouts.

by Ryan Kelsey on Jun 9, 2008 11:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

He had one AB where he saw 5 pitches. That’s about as big picture as you can get. The last flyout was well hit.

Let's Go 2009!

by emd2k3 on Jun 10, 2008 9:46 AM EDT up reply actions  

His at-bats looked bad, by and large. He seemed anxious to do something big and was swinging at pitches well outside the zone. On the bright side, his swing looked much more compact than I remember (although with more of an upper-cut than he needs).

by APV on Jun 10, 2008 10:03 AM EDT up reply actions  

His first AB was very bad in this regard. Willis couldn’t find the plate and Josh was determined to get a big hit.

Why exactly was he laying down a bunt on the second pitch? You wonder if that came from the dugout or if he did it himself?

by Toxicadam on Jun 10, 2008 10:05 AM EDT up reply actions  

Ben Francisco is sloooowww.

by gahnki on Jun 9, 2008 11:12 PM EDT reply actions  

I just saw the replay with Casey’s catch. If you can watch it again note how long it takes him to get near the ball.
