God, I can't believe it's come down to the final game of the season. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing that I'll be home to watch it.

 

[Y2Kev]

Okay, I was downtown today all day so I see that the Mets did well without me.

What's the rule on playoff game/tiebreak?

Oh damn. If they win... this is going to be one helluva last day...

 

[Y2Kev]

Okay, I don't understand the playoff game rules.

In 2005, when the Yankees clinched, they clinched because there would be no problem in the event of a tie with the Sox because they had the better season record.

Is that only because only one team could make the playoffs?

 

[mikeybwright]

Where has this JD Drew been all year?

Side note, go Kansas City!!!

 

[bigmakstudios]

there is no possible scenario in which the yankees would play the angels, right?

 

[scottnak]

ALCS is the only possibility

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

LOL @ Yankee fans all worried about the Angels. Now watch the Yankees get rolled in the first round by the Indians.

holy crap

Padres are pitching Tomko against DREAMY EYED GUTSY Jeff supan too. MAYBE

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

So Red Sox are picking Angels instead of Indians? Why?

 

[Triumph]

Looks like we're headed towards SUPER CRAZY OMG WTF 4 TEAM INSANITY.

My hope is that the Mets lose in the NL East play in game, then win the first game and lose in the last possible play in game.

 

[Y2Kev]

Phillies have the Man Wonder going tomorrow :lol

"I don't care if it's broke," said Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who left the game after being struck on the left hand by a pitch from Maine (X-rays showed the hand was not broken). "I'm gonna play tomorrow. [Screw] everybody on the Mets. I'm going to kick their [butts]."

.

marlins are gonna be amped

 

[Link]

Players usually play worse when they're frustrated like that.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Nice job, scottnak.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I love you Hanley.

 

[ForzaItalia]

The real reason Hanley wants to play is to get to 50 doubles...

 

[The Frankman]

marlins are gonna be raped

Fixed. :lol

 

[Zep]

yea we'll see about that. I hope nobody throws at reyes tomorrow, hes not worth getting kicked out w/ that great bat hes wielding these days :lol

 

[ToxicAdam]

Best record doesn't get to pick the team .. they get to pick the SCHEDULE.

 

[scottnak]

Nice job, scottnak.

Thanks. Haha. Needed a small break from the hw...

Considering you guys couldn't score 3 runs against the Nats I'd keep the trash to myself.

A bit clearer runthrough of the tiebreakers:

NL playoff tiebreaker scenarios (records through Saturday):

NL East

If New York (88-73) and Philadelphia (88-73) finish with the same record, they would play a tiebreaker game Monday in Philadelphia.

Wild Card

In the event two teams tie for the wild card, Colorado (88-73) would host New York, Philadelphia or San Diego (89-72) in a tiebreaker; New York would host San Diego; and San Diego would host Philadelphia.

Three teams with same record

In the event New York, Philadelphia and San Diego finish with the same record, New York and Philadelphia would play a tiebreaker Monday at Philadelphia for the division title. The loser of that game would then play a wild-card tiebreaker Tuesday against San Diego.

Four teams with same record

If Colorado, New York and Philadelphia win Sunday and San Diego loses, all would finish 89-73. New York and Philadelphia would play the NL East tiebreaker Monday; the loser would play a three-team, two-day, wild-card tiebreaker with Colorado and San Diego on Tuesday and Wednesday. In that scenario, Colorado (the team with the best head-to-head record among the three teams in the wild-card tiebreaker) would get the choice of having a bye on Tuesday or playing both games at home.

Today marks the last day the Braves will be aired on TBS as their home network.

Good bye old friend. Summers will never be the same again...

 

[Guileless]

Just as I predicted back on June 8, after watching them play in a series against the Braves, the Cubs have won the Central. I said 87-75 would do it, which is pretty close.

Do yall remember that afternoon game back on May 17 when the Cubs blew a 4 run lead to the Mets with 2 outs? That game looks pretty important now.

And too bad about TBS, it is the end of an era in air-conditioned dens across the South. I do not like John Sciambi. Give me Pete Van Weiren or give me death.

If that first at-bat is any indication, I don't think I'm comfortable with this game.

 

[Y2Kev]

Why did no one call that hbp?

glavinsplosion

 

[Link]

Yeah, I don't think I can watch this game. Glavine's getting majorly squeezed here.

 

[The Frankman]

How was that even a walk? Why didn't Willie argue? The pitch either hit Ramirez (not called) or is a strike.

 

[Link]

That's it, I'm outta here.

OMFG :lol :lol

good news mets fans, phillies have jamie moyer going

I'm gonna be honest. I just woke up. The first thing I saw was that fucking embarrassing joke of a play.

I just want to go back to sleep. Forever.

What the hell?

That's it, I'm outta here.

That's traitorous talk there.

Who will go for the mets in the playoff game? (Serious question)

Who is after Glavine? Pedro?
