Elimination Fever!

Call me crazy (and you wouldn't be the first), but I love the elimination number on the MLB.com standings. I always love seeing those E's. It's weird, I know, but it's like a finality to a team's season. It's really over. They're done for.

So I figured we could all join in the fun and continue the elimination countdown.
