5 games to go for the M's
M's magic numbers to eliminate each team....

Oakland Eliminated
Detroit Eliminated
Kansas City Eliminated
Texas Eliminated
California Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Orange County Eliminated
Boston Eliminated
Minnesota Eliminated
Chicago Eliminated
Baltimore Eliminated
Tampa Bay 4
Toronto 7 (6 if a 2 way tie)

Toronto needs to lose at least 1 for us to even have a shot. The've only got 4 left. 1 more with Boston and three with the orioles. If they go 2-2 we would have to go 4-1. Its looking like a DT is going to get to go see a wild card game.

Yeah was going to book my travel this morning based on yesterday's perfect result but going to wait one more day since there won't be a mad rush on flights from Boston to Toronto and the fact the M's still have a decent chance if they can win out.

Not happening with Flexen, Marco and a BP game on Wednesday. Thankfully the Rays lost so they would need to sweep and we would need to lose two of four. I could see that latter but I'm sure the O's will pull one out.

I like our chances

Its all going to come down to if our pitching shows up. If we get version of Luis Castillo that pitched against the Yankees and Indians this year we will win the first game. If we get the version of Luis Castillo that gave up 9 ER in back to back starts against the Royals and A's we are hosed. I think we lose game 2 with Ray either way. I think its a toss up with Gilbert if we can get to game 3.

Have they announced Ray for G2?

No I am just assuming that there is no way Jerry would let them tun Gilbert out there instead of his prize cy young award winning free agent acquisition.

Well Gilby is his prize 1st round pick and is pitching better and is a RHP vs. that RH dominant BJ lineup so I have hope it won't be Ray.
