Yep, as either the WC, or hopefully the division winner.

Well, they haven't quite clinched

but they’re in good shape. They just need to win one more to guarantee at least the WC.

not guaranteed yet

But pretty likely. Their magic number is 1, with three games left.

rather softly and rather high, but he’s usually pretty accurate and with just enough on it. Today, he has been all around, but I wish he’d have some urgency on the play so he doesn’t mess up like that.

He said Joey was warming up near his seat and he went over and explained that he borrowed it, and asked if he’d sign it for me. He said Joey ribbed him for not buying one of his own and was very nice about signing it.
