Magic number is now 10.

Glass Half Empty / Afternoon Cloud: Big deal. It's only the first game of the playoffs.

Glass Half Full / Silver Lining: But now the mighty, mighty Blue Birds have to wine 3 out of the next 4 games.

Thoughts / Observations / Sidenotes: Cole Hamels can help the Rangers go up 2-0 in a best of 5 series tomorrow, with Beltre hobbled that would be huge.
