Around SBN: Did The Giants Run Buddy Ryan's 'Polish Goalline'?

The Countdown Begins!

Logo-blueox_tiny by Nofatmike on


With the Giants losing 2-1 to the Phils today, the Dodgers' number to clinch a spot in the playoffs is now 20. With 28 games left in the season, any combination of 20 Dodger wins or Giants (or whoever is second in the wild-card) automatically gives them a playoff berth. As for the division, with Colorado's loss to the Mets today, the magic number to clinch the division is now 24. For more info on magic numbers click here.

I love that RIOT page. Very informative.

Its days like these that I miss The Griddle :)

Sometime this weekend, I’ll add a magic number tracker to the sidebar.

Perhaps you should have a contest where people can predict when the Dodgers will clinch a playoff spot and the division (or neither)?

Sigh...

It’s just not the same…
