Ok, we beat the O's big deal - please please please stop using Papelbon every night. The guy has pitched in 4 of the last 5 games and his arm is going to fall off. Isn't this why we traded for Gagne? Or is Gagne useless and we wasted Gabbard and Murphy (Murphy s hardly a waste - Ellsbury and even Kielty were worth way more on this team).
Man, I think Tito is having a brain freeze or something. We need a petition to sit Papelbon for about a week (or at least until the Yankee series). Paps doesn't need to close against teh O's or DRays. Sad. Smarten up Francona.
Oh yeah, 16 is our magic number. Which means with 22 games left for the Sox and 23 games left for the Yankees:
If the Sox lose every game left (0-22), the Yankees would only have to win 7 games (8-15).
If the Sox win only 1 game (1-21), the Yankees would only have to win 8 games (9-14).
If the Sox win only 2 games (2-20), the Yankees would only have to win 9 games (10-13).
If the Sox win only 3 games (3-19), the Yankees would only have to win 10 games (11-12).
If the Sox win only 4 games (4-18), the Yankees would only have to win 11 games (12-11).
If the Sox win only 5 games (5-17), the Yankees would only have to win 12 games (13-10).
If the Sox win only 6 games (6-16), the Yankees would only have to win 13 games (14-9).
If the Sox win only 7 games (7-15), the Yankees would only have to win 14 games (15-8).
If the Sox win only 8 games (8-14), the Yankees would only have to win 15 games (16-7).
If the Sox win only 9 games (9-13), the Yankees would only have to win 16 games (17-6).
If the Sox win only 10 games (10-12), the Yankees would only have to win 17 games (18-5).
I still like those odds.
