** Magic Number **

[TakebackOPACY]

Guys isn't the magic number against NY 1? we own the season series, the most wins they can have now is 90 and we have 89!!! Magic number 3 vs the jays but 1 vs NY :thumbsup1:

The tiebreaker is an extra game. The season series advantage would just make us the home team for that game.

You're correct. That would clinch a tie.

Not if we beat them tomorrow night. Rich Mac was correct.

You're correct. That would clinch a tie.

If they lose tomorrow, TOR could only win 90.

[Rich Mac]

You're correct. That would clinch a tie.

Math gives me a headache....

However, if we beat the Jays tomorrow night, they will have 72 losses...and we will have 90 wins. Right?

Edit: I see you edited. Thank God I don't have to do more math in my head.

Yes, I caught my mistake. He's correct!

My favorite song by them is "one" which hopefully what we will be signing tomorrow night.

Oooooo....that's a good one. Really more important now than the division title. Although that's not going to stop me from enjoying a nice cigar in one of the next few nights
