I have to say that MLB's solution to a 3-way tie WC situation is absurd, and it is the result of the absurdity of having a second wild card. I don't hate it, I just think it's nutty.

 

162 games ... comes down to playing 163 and 164, then a one-game playoff????? BS.

This has nothing to do with the second wild card. It wouldn't matter whether it's a 3-way tie for the second wild card or a 3-way tie for first place in a 15-team league with no divisions. Gotta break it somehow.

Oh dear God, no!

 

Perhaps a good, local Half Pints, Little Scrapper in honour of this team.

 

The superfluous "U' in honor means that Canada takes a little bit long to write or type the word. 

 

This has led to a decline in Canadian productivity.

I'm ready for whatever happens tonight.

You mean Canadian residents drink beer???? Who knew????

[Riverbrian]

 

There's a movement afoot in other markets to have those seats filled, even if not by the legal ticket holders. Giving them to kids and such. Tomorrow's Twins game is national so hopefully the Twins ticket office gets off their rears and makes sure those seats get used

 

KIDS?

 

Give them to me... Those little buggers just don't have enough money to afford a beer and a dog.

Tyler Duffey is cute and everything, but can we watch the game please Fox?

I know, right?!

[JB_Iowa]

I'd Ick or Ish that but I don't which one to use... So I'll have to wait for ChiTown or JB to make a declaration.

ICK

[Jerr]

All right, time for some Twins' runs!!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Concur

Whoa, Marnie looking pretty fuscia-ey. Turn down the tint!

[spinowner]

 

Going with a rotation of Summit EPA,  Fultons Sweet Child o Vine and The Ringer and capped with an Indeed Let it Roll.

 

Rinse, repeat.

Win-win-win-win.

Chris Young looks like my mechanic.........except taller.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Good for Twins, as Young does not have his stuff tonight (not that he ever had much to begin with)

 

Also this post is certified jinx proof

[twinsnorth49]

Thanks Drew.

The math on this is beyond me, but it would seem that on average there would be more teams bunched near the middle (mediocre records) than teams bunched at the top or at the bottom, therefore the second wild card will result in more ties or even three-way ties.

In honour (!) of the last weekend of summer (summer = baseball regular season) I decided to mix a Tanq and tonic. I can live without beer for one night.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Dammit. Dozier has him timed tonight just hasn't gotten it straightened out. Third times a charm.

True -- we do not have Canada's perfect record of producing great musicians.
