Three...is the magic number!!!!!

Just a few quick comments today. While I certainly slept better after the Sox clinched a play-off spot on Saturday, I'm still consumed with the quest for the AL East. A nice game last night, Schilling looked good, Manny and Youk returned and Big Papi was...well, Big Papi. Tampa Bay continues to play well, which is great since we don't have to play them again this season. They kindly disposed of the Yankees to put the Sox a solid 3 games up in the race for the division. This makes it so that (quick kudos to Schoolhouse Rock and De La Soul here) 3...Is the Magic Number!!! Any combination of Red Sox wins and Yankees losses equalling 3 seals the deal. All the pieces are falling into place. We could have this thing locked up before the weekend.

For those of you who weren't paying attention, the UMass Minutemen football team thoroughly DOMINATED Maine on Saturday, scoring 21 points in the first five minutes of the game. I'm looking forward to Saturday's tilt against the loathesome Boston College. Nothing would make me happier than the HUGE upset that a UMass win would be. More on this for Barstool Friday.

Interesting question came up the other day. If the Red Sox win the World Series again, the Patriots win the Super Bowl again and the Celtics win 2 of the next 4 NBA Championships, which Minnesota transfer is a bigger hero in Boston....David Ortiz, Randy Moss or Kevin Garnett? Think about it, I'll post my thoughts on Friday. Feel free to post a comment with your pick.

That's it for today, see y'all Friday! Go SOX!!!!
