red sox' chances
correct if I'm wrong, but if chicago sweeps cleveland(very possible) and if Boston wins just one from Yanks, we get wildcard? NESN blew through the scenarios last night and I was as confused as Eckersly looks.

I think things look pretty good, I understand the Yanks are sending a real Wang to the mound.

You are correct. Boston and Cleveland have identical records as of today---93-66.
If Cleveland gets swept, all the Sox have to do is win 1 of 3 to get the wild card.
If they both get swept, there's a one game play-off, and I believe it's at Fenway.

One thing I'm confused about is that they said that Chicago clinched the division. They are only up by 3 games over cleveland and they have a 3 game series w/ Cleveland this weekend....so how is that clinched?
....and we don't want the Wildcard......we want the division  |

if cleveland sweeps chicago, they are automatically in correct? yes correct of course they would have 96 wins. chicago already has 96 so they would be in as well, leaving either the sox or yanks out ;P and since chicago owns the tiebreaker in their division with cleveland they already have the division clinched

But whats the Tie-Breaker...If the Yanks/Sox finish tied there is a playoff game for the division, but if Chicago/Cleveland finish tied Chicago wins on a tiebreaker???? I don't get it. Sox/Yanks play 19 games in the regular season so if there's a tiebreaker wouldn't that be it? |
