** Magic Number **

[isestrex]

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Jay. I really wanted him to be more.

So did he, and that was the problem. He let his 2003 season go to his head and tried to be more of a power hitter than he really was. There's a good reason he was nicknamed "Capt Popup" in the years following.

So is it 32 or 31?

It was 32 when the Yankees lost. A few minutes later, the Orioles won and the magic number is down to 31.

That's what I thought.

Love seeing our guys take care of business against the teams they should. Got that magic number moved to 31.

I'll still never forget Palmer when asked about his power: "Well, he certainly won't win any beauty contests!"

I know it isn't a magic number but according to Fangraphs, our chances of winning the division are at 94.5 %. I love it!

Do you actually believe that? My hopes are as high as they can go -- but the champagne is not yet on ice.

I would not say it is definite but it is close. It would take a pretty big collapse of us as a team and the NYY or TOR to go on a big streak

I wasn't able to edit my post but for example, NYY would have to go 24-15 down the remaining stretch and we would have to do something like 15-23.
