Here's Cleveland's magic number today: 29.

 

If you combine it with your imaginary magic number, 29+sqrt(-256) gets pretty complex.

Leroy Robert Paige. Satch, natch.

Satch. 

 

I remember Satch.

 

So fast, the man could turn out the lights and be in bed before it got dark.

 

edit: But not as fast as Cool Papa Bell, of whom Satch noted, after Bell hit a screaming line drive past his ear, "I turned around and saw the ball hit him sliding into second."

Cool Papa story, bro.

I did that just this mornin'.

 

Didn't know i was fast...

Also, looked it up.

 

Magic number is apparently 32.

 

Bird number is apparently 33.

Or Byron Buxton who once hit a home run and was rounding 2nd by the time the fans heard the crack of the back.   The shortstop said something nasty as he went by so he slapped the third baseman on the catcher's mouth.

Not sure this counts:

Well, it doesn't get dark until 7pm, so if i turn lights off at 8am, i got like um... hours to get to bed.

Ooo. Bad Freudian sister, I mean slip.

Yah, baby!

 

And Cleveland's remains:

I hope no players suffer chronic pain that never entirely resolves (Wikipedia's telling) due to our series with them.

Chronic pain more likely from wearing the tools of ignorance than from injuring Rose on that play

So i can infer Cleveland won yesterday?

He had a serious knee injury caused by Hal McRae. McRae had a reputation as a hothead and a dirty player and he also had several situations when he managed which were consistent with that. I don't remember the year, but I know it was very near the end of the season, when McRae was trying to score and Borgmann was fielding the throw to make the tag. McRae came in "sliding", more or less. His foot was planted squarely on the side of Borgmann's knee, and there is no doubt in my mind that it was intent to injure first, and intent to score second. I know this is off topic but this memory is triggered by any mention of Borgmann.

Magic number is Buxton's doctor bill...Our team will be healthy and ready to go in October!

Let's just take a look at the whole American League

 

 

Putting Cleveland's magic number to win the division at 23 sure does make things look a heck of a lot better.

Thank you for this!  McRae was always my least favorite player.  Also sorry about the off-topic.

Watch out, if the Twins' magic number drops to exactly 11.

1011.

Only a little sorry that we have to skip Cesar Tovar...

If we win the nightcap you can just move the log on the right to the left.

It will require more work after that.
