Oh, crap... I don't know how my body is going to survive the stress.
One more game against Detroit.
3 final games against our nemesis Cleveland.
Magic Number is reduced with each White Sox win or Cleveland loss.
Magic Number to clinch the division.
Update: Magic numbers are so confusing... If we want to limp-in, the Magic Number is 1.
BUT - If we win tomorrow, and Cleveland wins the rest of 3-game series against them, WE TIE for the AL Central. But then, the White Sox would win the tiebreaker for the American League Central by an 11-8 record in head-to-head competition.
Oh, and let's muddy the water with a coin-toss: If we limp-in with a Wild Card spot, The Sox won a coin toss to host a possible one-game Wild Card playoff contest against either the Yankees or Red Sox on Monday (because the Yankees or the Red Sox are guaranteed 2 losses this weekend - they 're playing a 3-game series against each other)
