Thanks. Found it on Lance McAlister's blog. The Cards are at 29 games which is our MN (19) plus the 5 game deficit (ten 1/2 game increments). A few more wins and we'll be in single digits.

And for all the nay-sayers and doom-and -gloomers, the Reds have the second lowest Magic Number in MLB. The Rangers are at 16.

I still hate the Braves matchup.

I hate those guys !!!

I think it's Russian Roulette at this point but I really don't want to do that West Coast thing even though the Padres have been crappy lately. Giants don't worry me but the Rockies are red hot right now too.
