Dead Sox

fungraphs:

Epic collapse! With the 2011 Red Sox leading the AL East at the beginning of September with 28 games to go, they fell, fell hard and as you know, lost the Wild Card lead on the last day of the season. 

How do you blow a 99.78 chance of making the playoffs? 

Thanks baseball-reference.com for providing stats, always! 

Updated 10/1 to reflect no change in standings for 9/1 date

Why did I not find this when this was far more relevant? Either way, brilliant graph.
