The Magic Number for elimination of that smelly Rally Monkey!

Believe it or not, the World Champion Anaheim Angels are about to be officially mathematically eliminated from the baseball postseason!
Going into Wednesday night's game, they are 15 games behind with 17 games left (in the Wildcard race as well as Divisional race)! Thus, the magic number for the death of that odiferous primate AKA Rally Monkey is 3!!!

I will feel wonderful once their are officially done!

The next elimination that I will celebrate will be for the D'backs!
Yes, both teams stole the title from my Yanks!!!

Obviously, nothing would make me happier than to see the RedSox miss the postseason... oh...ok...maybe one thing, if the Yanks beat them in the playoffs again!

update: 16 behind with 15 left!

I guess it's official now... the monkey's dead!!!
Now it's on to the D'backs elimination!!!
Arizona is 7 games behind in the wildcard race with 16 to play..
Just a matter of time for them!!!

As for the RedSox...I think the ChiSox will sweep them and we will extend our lead to 7 games again.

RedSox just might miss the postseason after all

There have been lots of reported sightings of the Babe's ghost in Boston of late...

I smell a big apple choke from the boys in fenway

I remember when the D'backs won in 2001, all I heard about was how they were going to be the next Dynasty like the Yankees in the 21st Century! Can you believe that after one WS ring???

Anyway, a lot of people do not realize how hard it is for the Yankees to have been doing what they're doing. Even if they don't win, just getting there year after year after year is hard. Maybe people will realize that one day!
