    Clydegirl... I think that is a real possibility... we were in a wild card spot in 2004 and got thru ... It seems like ALL of you NL'ers in here are in it with 16-17 games left.
    Diane and Gary you're not going to have any fingernails or hair left by the end of reg season are you lol...

    I will be happy with the wild card spot.. I believe if Texas loses one more game we'll secure a playoff spot, then some of the pressure will be off.

    Bill... you're the numbers man... The magic number is 22 today, and its our wins plus yankees losses right ? That is too damn close for me... I think they have a chance, but I would rather face GARY's ANGELS ... right Gary ?

    hmmmmm . . . I use the Elimination number from MLB.com. According to them, The Nation still has a shot at the Eastern Division Title because our Elimination number is so large, i.e. 10.

    And Texas has no chance of taking the Wild Card from The Nation because their Elimination number is so low, i.e. 10.

    Hope that helps you with Red Sox math.

    Thank you Billiam... I figure Texas is bound to lose a game this weekend, and we'll be golden...

    Enjoy ~~

    LOL at the fat lady. Keep her backstage for a while; we might need more time than the few days left in September.

    So, the Yanquees snuck by 10-2 over Seattle. With that The Nation's Magic Number remains the same in each direction: 9 toward the Yanquees and 9 toward the Rangers.
