Fred Lynn looks great..ESPN just had him on-air, with Luis Tiant. Can anyone find the box score from Lynn's rookie game against the Yankees, at the Stadium..I was there.. I saw it..I think he had 9 or 10 RBIs... two homers..

Lynn's first game against the Yanks was his only game and it was in Shea and was on September 25, 1974. He went 1-3 with 2 BBs. His first full year, he played against the Yanks at Shea on 4/15 and 4/16. He went 1-4 with a 2B on the 15th and went 3-4 with 2 HR, but only 2 RBI (both homers were solo shots) and scored 3 times on the 16th-- probably the game you saw.

I'm watching 4 games, and the US Open..ya think the sponsors might have an idea that I will NEVER see a commercial..

LOL... how are you managing that? Are you getting the Red Sox game on ESPN where you are? We have the Sox here on NESN of course. ESPN has FLA vs WSH, ESPN2 has the Mets vs Atlanta. They're running Angels vs Red Sox in your area? (as you know, I'm constantly confounded by TV sports schedules)

Sox magic number 21?

Sox 82-56 with this win tonite
If Yanks win: 78-60, 4 games back

24 games left, 4 game lead = 20
add 1= 21 (I think that's how they do it)

The Yankees have Rivera on the mound in the 9th. He's automatic, you know.

found online:

"Magic Numbers

Determine the number of games yet to be played, add one, then subtract the number of games ahead in the loss column of the standings from the closest opponent. If Houston has 50 games remaining (50+1=51) and are 7 games up on Cincinnati in the loss column (51-7=44), then the Astros' magic number to clinch the NL Central is 44."

So, 24 + 1= 25
minus 4 (back in loss column)
= 21
