You can indeed do magic

by Bob Timmermann

Some of my critics have said that Bob Timmermann hates America. They're right.

However, I need the metaphor.

Magic numbers to clinch division titles:

  • Angels - 6
  • Cubs - 18
  • Mets - 20
  • Rays - 21
  • White Sox - 22
  • DBacks - 22

Wild card leaders:

  • Red Sox - 18
  • Brewers - 19

Both the Mets and DBacks can cut into their magic number this weekend as they both play their closest pursuers. New York hosts Philadelphia for three games starting tonight (Brett Myers vs. Mike Pelphrey) and Arizona travels to Los Angeles (Dan Haren vs. Derek Lowe).

No teams can be eliminated tonight.

Must have been a sucker for vocal harmonies. But America never had the material to match.

I always crack up when guitar players start the "rockin' out" gyrations way more intensely than the song deserves. Usually seen on power ballads.

C'mon - Sister Golden Hair? Daisy Jane? Those are good songs!
