If the Rays win tonight, the season series would be 10-8 Rays. That means if the Rays win tonight, the Red Sox would not be able to tie and win the division. They'd need to be 1 GA.<BR/><BR/>But! If the Red Sox win tonight, the season series evens back up at 9-9, and the next tie breaker is each team's American League record. Here's where it gets kind of funny. Tampa was 12-6 in Interleague play - the Red Sox were 11-7. Rays have a better record against the National League. But, if they were to end the season with identical records, it would have to mean the Red Sox would have a better <I>American</I> League record, the tie breaker, by one game, and the Red Sox would be leaving Tropicana Field in second place (another virtual tie), but really in first place with the tiebreaker.<BR/><BR/>Tonight's game is worth TWO games in the standings, one way or another.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809080115678512743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-80918907557090915802008-09-17T05:32:00.000-07:002008-09-17T05:32:00.000-07:00Question - wouldn't you still call the game winnin...Question - wouldn't you still call the game winning hit a ground-rule double since it hit the warning track and bounced over the center-field wall?<BR/><BR/>That should be as automatic as a home run, which would give Navarro a double and would actually score another run for the Rays, making the final score (on nobody's scorecard) 3-1.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809080115678512743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-77818224493731514172008-09-16T21:27:00.000-07:002008-09-16T21:27:00.000-07:00there's one bright side to all of this:AT LEAST WE...there's one bright side to all of this:<BR/><BR/>AT LEAST WE AREN'T METS FANS!nixon33https://www.blogger.com/profile/03283528172781996570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-34969341720340425472008-09-16T20:05:00.000-07:002008-09-16T20:05:00.000-07:00and the Red Sox write back to me about the seat sa...and the Red Sox write back to me about the seat sale. but instead of answering my question, they give me a stock email giving the same info everyone already knew.<BR/><BR/>Also, nix, that's right.
