I will go to my grave arguing that mlb should scrap divisions entirely. And seed the playoffs 1-6 (best overall records in AL and NL. And if that means that the entire AL east makes playoffs than so be it.

Game 28
Only two pages for yesterday’s thread.
A mundane matchup or impending dread?
Is it a sign the season’s in ruins,
or were we busy watching the Bruins?
Perhaps some of us go out Friday night.
My life is dull. I stay home, watch, and write
couplets and struggle with meter and rhyme,
wondering if it’s a grand waste of time.
Yet, deep in my heart, I hope that it’s not.
I wait for the day the Sox will get hot,
get guys on base and actually score’em,
and back fun and fans to this forum.
Though writing these poems may take time to do,
I’d love to write more than one-sixty-two.

Even in the current fomat, it's possible for the enitre AL East to make the playoffs. With the balanced schedule, it is feasible for the East to send a division winner and all four wild cards. Seeding would still be wonky, but wild card teams have often had better records than divisional winners.

Definitely not, if you value entertaining and uplifting your fellow Sox fans!
Thanks again for these.
If Wunderground is right, they should get today's game in. (EDIT: the hourly forecast just changed and now it looks wetter. Damn.)
Here in WMA about 2 hours west of Fenway, it hasn't rained for several hours and the sun is trying to come out.
I was watching Pirates/Nats on mlbn while making lunch, and Rich Hill stranded the bases loaded with Nats. Guess the Sox are not the only stranders.

The central divisions are largely filled with small market, lower revenue teams. I imagine the current divisional alignment allows them a much better chance at competing (or at least the illusion of doing so) than scrapping divisions would.
Could going into the bottom of the first still tied be considered a moral victory?
Not sure why Turner swung at the third pitch. Plesac had thrown 6 straight balls and would’ve been 7.
It's nice to be out in front, early in the game, instead of playing "catch-up."
