September 26th Vs. New York

[schillingouttheks]

tempers were flaring, it seems like this season has had the most amount of mixed emotions in games between the sox-yanks.

texas lost, so our magic number to eliminate them is now one win. the magic number is 2 for the angels if they win, 1 if they lose.

Texas still has a shot at the division though.

i know, its a weird thing. texas and anaheim can be guaranteed not to win the wild card, but can still win the west, weird....

 

im happier knowing that we are guaranteed a playoff spot, WC or east, i dont care what happens in the other divisions.

 

though id much rather have oakland or texas win it than anaheim (i want oakland to win it the most, we have played .900 ball against them).

Just goes to show how much tougher the AL east is cuz of the sox and yanks than all of the other divisions.

[schillingouttheks]

this is true, this is why the AL East is the best division in baseball. possibly the NL West too, dodgers/giants.

Technically the Sox magic number now is for a playoff berth, since they're not officially out of the race for the AL East.
