Mathematical musings on the final weeks of the Red Sox 2009 season:
20 = Games left to play
6 = Series left to play
2 = Series against teams with a better record than the Red Sox (NYY and LAA, 6 games)
4 = Series against teams with records under .500 (BAL, KC, TOR, CLE, 14 games)
12-8 = Win-loss record in remaining games to match 2007 record of 96-66
11-9 = Win-loss record to match 2008 record of 95-67
16 = Magic number to clinch Wild Card, including tiebreaker game should the Red Sox and Rangers end the season with the same record.
12 = Combination of Yankee wins and Red Sox losses before the Red Sox are eliminated from the division race. In other words, the Yanks' magic number to clinch the division.
LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!!
