IT'S A LOCK!!!
haha I saw this, awesome. Is it leading the division by 4.5 games at any point in the season or in August/September?
I'm guessing any point in the season, but I don't know. It's about as meaningful of a stat as RISP/2outs with 2 strikes vs an NL West team during a day game.

some nuggets:

43 is a centered heptagonal number.

43 is the largest natural number that is not an (original) McNugget number.

some relatively interesting things there if you are a total geek...

Even though our magic number went down last night? Since when did OUR jinx start effecting how the Cubs play? If we're gonna make this into a jinx, we need to decide whether it's jinxing us or making the Cubs better.
