Hello Jose

What is left of hurricane Jose is spinning off the coast of New Jersey and it's going to make this week kind of grey and breezy. Right behind Jose is Maria and she'll also bring us some winds and rains.

This means I probably won't be doing a lot of flying over the next week or two.

Toys backwardsR Us has filed for bankruptcy.

Now where will parents take their kids to buy all those cheap-ass, lead-paint covered plastic Chinese toys?

There are 12 games left in the regular baseball season and the Yankees are 3 games behind the Red Sox in the ALEast

That means that any combination of 10 Red Sox wins or Yankees losses will result in the Red Sox winning the division. This is known as "The Magic Number"

Any combination of 9 Red Sox wins or Yankees losses will result in a tie and a one game playoff for the division. This happened once before back in 2005.

And finally, any combination less than 9 means the Yankees win the division and the Red Sox will be a wild card team.

I'm hoping for the Red Sox winning the division.
