The Wild Card Thread.

5.5 out with a little more then a month to play. Anyone think we have a chance to pull it out? If Beckett and Lackey can turn it on in the final month then we have a shot, but I'm not counting on it.

Three series. Two against the Rays, and one against the Yankees will tell the story. If we win those series we have a very good chance. If we don't we are done. It's that simple.

[BOSOX11]

Amen to that!

[Yaz Sideburn]

it will come down to the 6 remaining games we have against the rays

[mvp 78]

There's definitely a chance, but I'm not counting on it.

[soxfan74]

There is a chance but highly unlikely.

[Dojji]

It's still a better chance than most teams have in any given year. Hold onto hope guys.

Have sum faith bro

Tampa has 38 games left, the Sox 37 games left. If Tampa plays exactly .500, the Sox have to go 24-13 to tie Tampa. Essentially, the Sox would have to win 2 of 3 the rest of the way. They end their season with 4 games against KC, while the Sox finish up against the Yanks. There is very little chance.

sox have the pitching to do it ,it is jus up to them to do it

Very little chance indeed considering this team has been playing .500 ball for the last 2 months.

"New math?" :lol:

You are missing Youkilis, Cameron, and Ellsbury for the season (most likely). You're gonna be missing Pedroia for at least 2 weeks and probably a whole lot more than that. You're also playing without Varitek for the next few weeks and are playing with a subpar Beckett and a mediocre Lackey. The fact the sox are only 7 games back in the L column of NYY is amazing. You guys might point at all the head to heads, but it's pretty rough to expect a team to sweep the head to heads. Even if they win each series, they only gain 1 game in the standings per series. They need sweeps, and without the core of their lineup, it is near impossible
