116

Pending the poetic Rays v As game that's just about to get underway, the Red Sox magic number is 116.

I'd love to see them continue to put games between themselves and the Yankees. It's 6.5 now. Let the pressure between Hank's ears keep building until he goes from saying stupid stuff to doing stupid stuff. Remember, new wunderkind manager Joe Girardi was fired from his previous gig, despite winning Manager of the Year, because he didn't get along with his front office. If he starts trading public volleys with ownership the way Joe Torre didn't, this could be a great season.
