Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Friday, September 26th

Mark your calendars for the Sox vs. Indians finale in Chicago. 

Assuming the Chicago White Sox can maintain their season winning percentage of .571 heading into that last weekend, they will have won 91 games.

Assuming the Cleveland Indians can maintain their winning percentage over the past 10 games, heading into that last weekend, the Tribe will have won 92 games.

That's right...if we win our next 27 straight games we'll have a shot at repeating in the Central.  How sweet it is!

On a serious note, I will be very satisfied if we can simply play spoiler to the White Sox that weekend.  Especially after Ozzie made the comment that the Sox were at a disadvantage to Minnesota since they only to get play Cleveland six times in the second half.

Plus there’s the four in Boston prior to that series. I’d much rather spoil the Boston’s chances than the White Sox given that one or the other will make the playoffs.

I hear Boston has a soft-tosser named Byrd. Those kinds of guys always give the Indians trouble!

I had completely forgotten we might have to face him. Good gravy, I bet he either throws a 2-hit CG against us or gets chased in the fourth.

Good gravy -- reminds me of a Jeff Foxworthy skit where they pour Gravy on everything …. hilarious but disgusting.

I prefer Wavy Gravy myself.

I’ve met Wavy. The man is a mess.

But friendly, for sure.

I bet you could form a starting roster off active ex-Indians for less than $10 million. The team would be absolutely terrible…but would have an .800 winning percentage against the Tribe.

In a seven game series they’d beat us like redheaded step children! Manny, Ludwick and Bradley in the OF with Giles and Church off the bench. CC, Byrd, Guthrie starting and Riske, Spiers outta the BP. Phillips, Kousmanoff, Scutaro, McDonald, Thome and Bard in the IF we’d be lucky to win two! But Thome’d eat up $10M hisself.

Add the immortal Chad Durbin (now doing great for the Phillies) to the pen. And, Alan Embree, Arthur Rhodes, Brian Tallett, even David Weathers!! They might want to avoid Guillermo Mota, though.

Millwood an additional starter.

Our POFF’s up to 0.6….

Just imagine our irrational optimism when we get to 2 percent.

I thought we’d used all that up back in April?

Personally, this is exactly how I see this playing out.

Sure, CC would’ve been nice for the playoffs, but who cares! We’ve got ZachJaxx and Tony!

If you need me, I'll be senselessly rooting for Sizemore 40/40 for the remainder of 2008.
