Third order wins include strength of schedule that has been played. I don't know if expected playoff % include a SOS component going forward

I would imagine it does because they run simulations to get these values, so I would think they'd have some SOS component.

I agree. But I have no clue and usually try to shy away from speculation.

you guys are confirming my befuddlement why sublime claimed it was not SoS based, but i am ready to learn if he explains what he meant. we are not talking post-AS-break or anything.

When did he say that? He said the Red Sox had a better 3rd order Win% overall than the Yankees, but he wasn't talking about future expectation, unless we're talking about different posts.

Going to last nights game, getting back around 2:00 am, then heading to a huge house party on the beach that was still going strong and getting absolutely wasted is such a good night.

When Melky made that throw in the ninth inning to save a run the place was going insane. The camera wouldn't get off Melky and he wouldn't stop smirking (He also turned to watch the replay), it was great to see and Jeter ending the game on a dribbler was awsome too.

Breaking News: Joba is a God. I figured that out last night.

Nah, he was just referring to the "best pythag in the majors" comment, not the playoff odds.

Cabrera
Jeter
Abreu
A-Rod
Matsui
Posada
Giambi (DH)
Cano
