Isn't it Thursday? --------------------------10 Brewers DH on Sunday------ (-2) Cubs Sunday-------------- (-3) Cubs Monday------------- (-4) Cubs/Brewers Tuesday------ (-6) Cubs/Brewers Wednesday---- (-8) Cubs/Brewers Thursday----- (-10) ------------------------- 0 If you want to use that sort of math sure Huh? They still can clinch on Thursday. I guess it's more clear to put it this way. The Brewers play 2 on Sunday and 3 in the Cubs series 2+3=5. The Cubs play 2 against HOU and 3 against MIL 2+3=5. Each time the Cubs beat the Brewers the MN goes down 2. So: 10 (current Magic Number) -5 (potential Brewer losses) -5 (potential Cubs wins) ------------------- 0 I was joking, I counted wrong :)
