Just thought this would be as good a place as any to keep track of St. Louis' magic number.

Remember - everytime Cincinnati (or the 2nd place team should the Reds get overtaken) loses OR the Cardinals win, the number goes down.

That formula is as follows (For those keeping score at home)
Total Number of games - Wins by the 1st place team - Losses by the 2nd place team + 1

That would mean that thru the games finished on July 19th

162 - 53 - 45 + 1 = 68 with 67 games to go
Nothing more disgusting than discussing a magic number for the Cardinals in July. Come on, Jmclain. You related to George Grande?????
