I don't get it. The Chicago Tribune is posting the
Magic Number for the Chicago White Sox. It's just
days after the All-Star Game. This is Chicago.
Nobody goes out on a limb like this when it comes to sports teams in town.
But here we are - the Sox still have the best record in all of baseball, again the first team to 60 wins. As of this morning, they're 12 games ahead of the 2nd place team (Twins). I'm not expecting to retain the "best record in baseball" title much longer - the St. Louis Cardinals are just 2 games behind in the win column and they have been stronger than the Sox.
And now the media have started noticing the local team that's actually in First Place and I'm getting that "jinxed" feeling, when you don't say certain things even when they're right in front of you, so you don't jinx the situation and have it change.
And there it is - Magic Number 61 - the number of White Sox wins and 2nd place team losses needed to win the division.
It's only July and they're calculating and publishing a Magic Number.
Scary.
