Playoff Fever!!!

Magic Number is now 87.

Any combination of Detroit Wins and Cleveland losses will result in Clevelands Mathematical elimination from the race!

GO GET EM TIGERS!!!!!!!

That's more math than I care to do right now, since the calendar does still read June. But I think there may still be room for Cleveland in the playoffs - as a Wild Card. In fact, I'm still hearing baseball talking-heads, as late as last week, counting the Tigers as the odd-team out in the AL - remember, the Yankees are only 11.5 games out... and in 3rd place! And I think the A's may still have a player or two who isn't on the DL!

The only number I care about in baseball right now is 756, and hoping that Barry Bonds tears and ACL before reaching the milestone.

ABSOLUTELY DITTO!!!!
Actually, I would like to see Bud Selig go out to watch Barry Bonds while he was attempting to hit number 756--and for them to fall and trip over each other walking into the park---permanently knocking them both out of the world of baseball. And freeing us of all this not addressing the steroid issue.

That'd be great! :lol:

But thinking about it more, I think once he reaches 755 every MLB pitcher should make a pact to always walk him-no matter what. Yeah, it'd be convienent for the Giants for a while, but eventually the need for RBI's would arise and he would fade into oblivion taking only the BB record. :D
