Magic Number Watch
With the Astros loss yesterday, and the Twins not cooperating again (they've lost 11 in a row now), our magic number to clinch the #1 draft pick is 2. Kind of. Actually, only one more loss by the Astros or one more win by the Twins will do the trick because that will assure at least a tie. In the event of a tied record this year, it is my understanding that they will look at last year's record to determine who will get the pick, and since we had a worse record last year, that will be that.

Magic Number Watch
With the Astros loss last night and absolutely NO help from Minnesota, our magic number for the #1 draft pick is now at 3. The Astros have 8 games remaining and Minnesota, now on a 10-game losing streak, has 9 games remaining.

What's Our Magic Number?
OK, Minnesota is REALLY starting to tick me off. Win already, will ya?!
The Astros now only have one team competing for the #1 draft pick and the magic number remains unchanged from yesterday. Any combination of Minnesota wins and Astros losses equalling four will do the job. But Minnesota keeps losing. Not only do they have a 9-game losing streak going, but they are 9-34 in August and September. The Astros are 17-27 during the same period. I refuse to root against the Astros, even for the #1 draft pick, so Minnesota needs to step it up. Astros have 9 games remaining on their schedule; Minnesota has 10.

What's Our Magic Number?
The Astros have eliminated all but five four teams in clinching the #1 overall draft pick in 2012. Here are the magic numbers* for each remaining team.
Kansas City - 1
San Diego - 2
Seattle - 3
Baltimore - 5
Minnesota - 6
Naturally, I hope that the Astros go 13-0 and the other teams cooperate by winning the requisite number of games, but that's probably not going to happen.
I'll update daily until we're assured of the prize!
