September 26, 200520 yr im trying to figure out who i want to play in the first round... because if cleveland wins the wild card, we get the angels probably...who just got off an 8 game winning streak and swept us a few weeks ago... but if we get past them, we might get cleveland in the ALCS...which i like more than boston or nyy... my reasoning? i'd rather deal with boston or nyy in 5 games than in a 7 game ALCS. they're playoff proven...the indians are not... my dream scenario is to play the AL east wild card in round 1 and another AL east team in the alcs...i really don't want anything to do with the angels... however i also dont think it matters that much who we play. all the teams are good.
September 26, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) That is what I read as well. BOTH need to be guaranteed a spot in the playoffs in order to throw out the tiebreaker. If both Cleveland and the Sox win 98 games, they will be guranteed a spot. If either NY or Boston wins 98, that means the other one can only win 95. So in other words, the magic # to clinch the division is 4.
