The Red Sox Magic Number Is 112
Yup. The Red Sox who started the season 0-6 and 2-10 are in first place by themselves.
(Thank you A. J. Burnett's high pitch count and mediocre Yankee middle relief.)
So now any combination of Red Sox wins and Yankee losses that equal 112... and the Red Sox are the 2011 American League Eastern Division Champions.
And they got there BEFORE Memorial Day. They had a disappointing first third of the season and are STILL in first place by themselves.
Really great blog. My friends referred me your site. Looks like everyone knows about it. I'm going to read your other posts. Take care. Keep sharing.
