Guest Juanky Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Magic Numbers: For Philly: 10 For Chicago: 9 For LA: 10 (My guess is as good as yours) For Arizona: 6 For STL: 5 For Montreal: 3 All other teams have been eliminated from the Wild Card Hunt Interesting side not: It is mathematically impossible (thanks to the loss yesterday) for the Marlins to clinch on the road. The clincher would have to be at home (good news for me, I'm going to live in JRS next weekend!). We can, however, come home with a 1 Magic # in a best case scenario.

g8trz2003 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 pretty much, the Marlins need to win or the Phillies need to lose 10 times for us to clinch the Wild Card, right? Any combination. 5 wins for us, 5 losses for them...0 wins for us, 10 losses for them, whatever works. Lets make the magic #8 after today!
