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? |

TDF...neither the Sox or Yanks can win the wildcard...thus they must determine the division winner should there be a tie in the regular season.....Chicago has won the central and Cleveland it appears is the wild card winner.....got it now?  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

 Sox and Yanks are both one game up on Cleveland so the wild card is still wide open to all three teams.
I don't know what all this tiebreaker talk is about. If the Sox and Yankees finish with identical records, which is still possible, the 19 games they played and who won more of them means nothing. There'd still be a one game playoff. |
