Dick Allen Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) Wait - if the Sox go into Cleveland up 3 games then the tribe could conceivably sweep and force a one game playoff if they end the regular season with the same record. That's my understanding. That's what I thought, but another thread said that's not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphat007 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) Yes it is. I feel pretty good about our situation right now. Aboust the only way I see us having to play in a play in game is if: We lose all four games, Cleveland wins all four games. Yanks win tomorrow and take 1 out of 3. Boston wins tomorrow and takes 2 out of 3. I think we'd be in the 3 way tie with Boston and NYY at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 No, a tie at the end of the season will result in a one game playoff, not head to head matchups. Sorry to disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct... even though it should go by what happens in the regular season. The mlb loves money.

The Ginger Kid Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 if the sox win and tribe get swept tomorrow, then you can bust out the bubbly. But I'd keep it on ice for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Didn't the Cubs have the one game play-off a few years ago? Or was that strictly for the Wild Card with the other team going home? Since I guess we are talking about both teams going to Post, just one as champs and the other as WC.

Sorry to disappoint. The problem with a playoff especially if you lose you are still in the playoffs is it really messes up your pitching staff for the first round.

jphat007 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 If both the Sox and the Indians make the playoffs, WC and Division winner, and the Indians sweep the Sox, and they are tied, they go to head to head to determine who is the WC and who is the Division winner beteween the two, but thats only if they will both make the playoffs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 If both teams are in the playoffs, they don't have a game to determine who goes where. It's head-to-head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said if we win tomorrow and the tribe loses (gets swept) then you can break out the bubbly...translation: celebrate. As in we win the division. Because we would be 4 up with 3 to play.
