Sorry, guys. I just couldn’t resist.

This is to temper the rage against the last post!

Gotta clinch against Houston before Cleveland so they can really party when they clinch the division. If the two seed is still up in the air (more important than winning the Central), it may be a more muted celebration if they have to win the next day for the bye.

So win the next two.

We are going to 2024 Dortmund this to the World Series. IYKYK.

Orioles and Rangers lose. I think that puts our magic number at 19 for the wild card.

With Cleveland losing I think this knocks the magic number for the division down to:

We are now down to 20.

Sorry Cleveland.....Blame Canada.

Win tonight and a Toronto loss cuts this to 14. Assuming that the player would have to be Craig Grebeck

Sox won the season series so it’s:

21 games left minus 4 up in the loss column = 17

Every Sox win and Blue Jays loss decreases it by one.

And of course a great trivia question... May, may be the only player to have his birthday on the back of his uniform as he was born on "May 17th!"

17 left. 39 chances to chip away. I like them odds. Time for this team to run off their first real winning streak of ‘26.

Can I get a YEA BUDDY???

15 is the magic number for postseason play vs Toronto
