If someone else had locked up the Wild Card by now, and us and TB ended up with the same record at the top of the division, there would've be a one-game playoff which would've been in Boston as we won an earlier coin toss.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-80639081371499528182008-09-24T21:20:00.000-07:002008-09-24T21:20:00.000-07:00yes, the magic number *should* be 2.

But since the tie-breaker is guaranteed to go to TB, they only need the 1 win (or 1 BOS loss). So their true magic # is 1 to win the division. There can be no tie.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-20082625123774513282008-09-24T21:05:00.000-07:002008-09-24T21:05:00.000-07:00Why, you're right!My, I never knew MLB could make ...Why, you're right!<BR/><BR/>My, I never knew MLB could make magic numbers account for ties like that.Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11781889770446485593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-26751570453872613032008-09-24T21:04:00.000-07:002008-09-24T21:04:00.000-07:00thank god i dont like the mets.thank god i dont like the mets.nixon33https://www.blogger.com/profile/03283528172781996570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-65306192273076696212008-09-24T21:00:00.000-07:002008-09-24T21:00:00.000-07:00Drinking Liberally intervened, but I still got to ...Drinking Liberally intervened, but I still got to watch most of this one.
