    The Tampa Bay Rays...the MAGIC NUMBERS ARE...

    with Boston...26

    with The Yankees...20

    after today's games: Yanks win, Red Sox loss and the Rays win.

    Ya'll know the drill...any combination of Rays wins and/or Bosox/Yankees losses totaling the above numbers will ELIMINATE them from CLINCHING the American League East...
    For 2017...

    Tampa Bay Rays and magic numbers.

    Wow, what a season.

          I'm a Red Sox fan but I'm rooting for the Rays to make it to the series. It's time for new blood. Rays and Cubs would be awesome. I'd love to see that.

            FOX probably does not.

              The Cubs will get huge ratings no matter who they play so it'll be a ratings bonanza either way.

                So how many people do we think will show up at the first playoff game? 30,000?

                    With today's Yankees loss and the AMAZIN' Rays' comeback win a few minutes ago against the Orioles, the Yanks' TRAGIC NUMBER that would prevent them from clinching the A.L. East is now down to 17

                      I was at the game last night, and I must say that has gotta be the best comeback I've ever seen in person. And to the guy who said that there would only be like 30,000 at a Rays playoffs game, there would be a completely sold out stadium, but the Trop only holds like 38,000 or something, and last nights attendance was around 34,800.

                          I love it, I've been following them since spring training, and I knew they were gonna have a good season, but I never expected this. Its a great ride, and I expect this for the following seasons too.

                            The magic (or TRAGIC) number for the Yanks is now 15. I really hope the Blue Jays pass them too and they finish in fourth. That would make my year.
