Who'd have thought a week ago that we'd be Tiger fans!?
Re: Magic Number Thread.
We own tie breaker with Cleveland as well, all we need for #2 seed is another two win or a loss by both Cleveland and Detroit and 1 win. A tigers fan tonight

Yes we do. Not sure how I missed that. Probably wasn't to concerned about it when I started this because they were about 5 games out of the wildcard at that point. LoL.

Never mind I had it right in past posts. I just failed to lower it down 1 when I made last night's post.

As much as I dislike Dipoto, thanks for getting Suarez and Naylor!!! What great fits to put us in this position. I have to give props when props are due. And locking up Cal and Julio!!!

Re: Magic Number Thread.
Agreed. Now my request would be to have a major league ready offensive lineup by Opening Day next year and not wait until the deadline!
Re: Magic Number Thread.
All they need to do is sign Polo and Naylor and they are set with the lineup. Rotation is already set. Bolster the pen a bit and ready to roll.Michael K. wrote: ↑Wed Sep 24, 2025 5:39 pmAgreed.
