Au contraire......

Did you know that the Chinese once made a movie in homage to me?

It was titled Enter The Draggin'.

It's true, it's true......

For all of us sox fans...
their magic number is 67 as of the all-star break (i.e. any combo of sox wins and nyy losses) to clinch the AL east. they have 75 games left, 15 of which are against Tampa Bay. The Sox are 108-48 all time vs. TB (win % of .692). Stats show they'll win ~10 of the 15 vs TB; with that said, their magic # is 57 with 65 games left. What does this mean?
the AL east race is O-V-E-R!!!

GO SOX!

A true Sox fan would know better than to jinx it.

more stats for sox fans...

(sox have 75 games left, nyy has 77 left) if the sox win 10 of 15 vs TB and only go 32-28 the other 60 games, nyy would need to go 53-24 (29 games over .500) the 2nd half of the season (basically win almost 70% of their games).

obviously i'll be more comfortable 2 months from now when they still have a 10 game lead, but still....

Yo, Mick......
The Tigers just re-upped Pudge for next year...at 13mil. Good move on their part, methinks.

No surprise, given [my view of] the owner/management team.

Pudge didn't have a great year, but 4 years ago, or so, he changed the face of the organization. He went to a team that everyone shunned. One poor year probably due to personal issues, followed by a pennant year, followed by a yearly record attendance, happened because he dared to go.

Reward or worth, it doesn't matter, it was a good move by that team and speaks of the value the team places on its players.

Kenny Rogers, if he re-ups, ... same thing thoughts.

Ouch.

Ok, that one stung a little.

But I've got 99 years of callouses, so it doesn't hurt quite as bad as it could have.
