ok, where is the Central playoff if there is a tie on Sunday night?

I propose the Big O.

oh i get it
am i the only one who still doesn't really count the new one game playoff as the "playoffs"

fuck you, fan of a team that's won two championships without ever winning a division
― mookieproof, Saturday, 27 September 2014 04:10 (nine years ago) link
if the first wild card series was three games or something i'd count it, but one game feels too impermanent to me
cool for the royals though (go A's nonetheless)

it's the postseason, "the playoffs" are that 2-month NBA joke perpetuated with everyone who's .400+

also the primary benefit of the one-game 'play-in' crapshoot was to make a first place finish meaningful
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 27 September 2014 04:22 (nine years ago) link
lol that was like benefit #15
the rest of the benefits are about $$$$$ and bud's sense of self-importance
and even then "allowing more teams to contend" was the biggest line given
and the one-game playoff is a fucking travesty

Compared to the previous system, I disagree. Allowing more teams to contend -- nothing was gonna stop that.
anyway:

Sorry, Royals -- the Tigers have Lobstein going tonight.

Season head-to-head should break the tie, not determine the damn location of the tiebreaker.

if first place is important yes let's use some willynilly cumulative BS to determine it, huh?
anyway, looks like all the AL CONTENDERS MAY LOSE AGAIN TONIGHT! I don't think they understand last-weekend clutchiness. At least that would eliminate Seattle.

You think the result of one game is less willynilly than the results of 19? OK.
― Andy K, Sunday, 28 September 2014 04:19 (nine years ago) link
I think the entire 162-game season record should have primacy, howzthat?
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 28 September 2014 04:21 (nine years ago) link
(or 163)
