9/19 @ Yankees

2 games! I've heard of small sample sizes, but c'mon.

It doesn't take much to get Jacko going again. LOL

As we all know, it's the team that goes on a roll that has the best chance.

If you're talking about a team that goes on a roll in the last couple of weeks of the regular season, then that's not true.

If you're talking about a team that goes on a roll during the playoffs, well then that goes without saying.

Was it 2006 when the Cardinals almost choked away a playoff birth and then got hot in the post season and won the Championship?

Of course I meant in the playoffs.......

I predict the team that goes on a roll in the playoffs will win.

Even that doesn't really cover it. Sometimes more than one team goes on a roll. Sometimes rolls get stopped dead.

Okay, I predict A team that goes on a roll will win it all.

You must be a lot of fun at parties ..........

I like to argue this crap, I have to admit.

There's actually a painful reason for me making that point about rolls getting stopped. In the '86 playoffs the Sox won 5 straight games from ALCS Game 5 through WS Game 2, and they had the next 3 games at Fenway. Everyone knows the rest.

For example, the Rockies were on a hellacious roll in 2007. Then they weren't.

Happy we finally sealed the deal in the Bronx. This game was another signature game of 2018. Get down early, fight back and put up an onslaught of runs. I love this so much.

So true, since this is the gamethread for the 9/19 game that the Sox lost 10 - 1 due to Price/bullpen shittiness. Pushes up my dorky glasses.

Is the lead on homefield advantage safe from this bullpen?!?!?!?!?

It's safe. It's out of our BP's hands now. IIRC the Magic Number for HFA is 2 and there's no way Houston isn't going to lose two games between now and the end of the season.

I do enjoy your dementedness.

It's Friday. I gotta let loose once in a while.
