It's Magic Number Time!

[The Poet]

Update:

Yankee Clippers = 10 : While the idle Yanks were enjoying surf-and-turf with a nice Willamette pinot noir in Seattle's finest last night, Boston loses the first of its 3 games-in-hand -- which is the problem with games-in-hand. You have to win them, or they are just anchors pulling you down. Speaking of anchors - Exit Sandman wannabe.

Yen For Clunkers = 13 : Are the Tiggers circling the field, or circling the drain? We'll know soon enough.

The Second Best Franchise In Baseball = 8 : Cards take night off, but Cubs lose again. It's head-to-head this weekend -- have you found that fork yet?

Rittenhouse Squares = 10 : Phils double-up on Nats. Why don't they pick on somebody their own size?

Antelope Freeway Freaks = 11 : And pretty much the same story here, with a win over Pirates on Manny Bobblehead Day. Question is, how could they tell the dolls from the real bobblehead?

Watts Towers = 11 : Angels visit Arlington now, which helps the Yankees either way. If they lose, it helps for home-field advantage, and if they win it helps assure Yanks of at least the wild card.

Continues.
