With the Phillies avoiding disaster in Pittsburgh the magic number for the Phillies to clinch the division as decreased by one! The Atlanta Braves lost but the magic number does not decrease by two because the Florida Marlins have taken over second place and are still seven games behind the Phillies. Heading into Wednesday night's games the Braves and Marlins were tied for second.The magic number lowers from 32 to 31, the number previously worn by the great center fielder Garry Maddox! You all know the quote describing Maddox...
"Two thirds of the Earth is covered by water. The other one third is covered by Garry Maddox."
