I just noticed that the Cards have a player named Richie Palacios. He really should call himself Enrico and we'd all smile....

For what it's worth, I think winning any game in Miami clinches a playoff spot.

Sorry if I made it confusing. Yes, #3 hosts the last WC (#6). The first WC also hosts the second WC - this is probably where the confusion set in because I labeled it as #1 WC, which is really the 4-seed. So, to get the 3-seed, the magic number is 6. That’s the focus of this thread. We will probably clinch a playoff spot before we do that, though, and I was working through the magic numbers for that.

Getting back to magic number talk, let's discuss clinching a playoff spot.... There are 3 teams currently on the outside of the WC race that the Brewers have not yet closed out - Miami, Cincy, and SF. The magic number for Miami is 5 - sort of. If Milw wins just one of its remaining 3 games with the Marlins, the Brewers would win the season series and thus own the tiebreaker. So, if the Brewers entered that series still at magic number 5 (perish the thought), winning that one game would bring it down to 2. For Cincy, it is now 3, and for SF it's 4 by virtue of SF having the tiebreaker. If you're wondering about the #1 WC spot (because they get to host, too), we are concerned with Philly and Az - we know our magic number is 6 with Chicago. We have a magic number of 8 with Philly and 7 with SF. So, to summarize the magic numbers: Division: 6, any WC: 5, #1 WC: 8.

I forgot about tiebreaker - thanks. It's 5.

I've been keeping my eye on that. Our magic number is 6 on the Reds/7 on the other guys. We have 13 games left. Obviously, we should just win 7 games to close out this thing, but it is worth noting that both of the chasers are currently not in any of the Wild Card slots. They are in desperation mode.
-
Time to pay attention to the magic number for the other C-town team, which is currently 7. They could become our closest pursuer by the end of tomorrow.

He wasn't the first 12...

The Cardinals have been eliminated.

One of the all-time names for a Brewer, Billy Jo Robideaux. He was a monster in the minors and people were clamoring for him for years, but he never amounted to much in the majors.

I don't think I get the obscurity thing. This number is always Gumby.....
