lol at you calling that a bad argument

It wasn't an argument at all

I said I wouldn't go into this but...

The Rockies would've had 100 wins if we played in the AL East instead of Boston.

That's the point that could be made

And I don't feel like arguing about it or making points about why that would've been the case because it's futile

Holy Christ, you are clueless. You can't actually believe that.

No, I'm serious. I'm not trying to be a dick, but there is no possible way any intelligent baseball fan would think the Rockies would have won 100 games playing in the AL East. Why, because you won 60% of the games over a 20 game period? My god.

it's not that futile, BP adjusts for strength of schedule, parks, etc.

The Red Sox had 103 3rd order wins (#1 in MLB), the Rockies had 90 (4th in MLB).

saying the Rockies would have won 100 in the AL East is a huuuuuge stretch

Looks like I won't get through for WS tickets that went on sale 10 minutes ago [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Had like 15 people trying to get in.

The biggest upside to Cleveland coming here is their fans don't travel as much and it is less affluent. The fact its Boston means I won't be able to by broker tickets because price is gonna go through the roof. Boston combined with first championship hosted here since Stanley Cup means insane prices.

oh well

It's a good thing the Sox and Rockies didn't play only each other this year. The Sox would have gone 54-108 and finished behind the Devil Rays.
