October 3, 201511 yr 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.
October 3, 201511 yr Author 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.

October 3, 201511 yr I'm ready for whatever happens tonight.You mean Canadian residents drink beer???? Who knew????
October 3, 201511 yr Author 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.
October 3, 201511 yr 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
October 3, 201511 yr 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.
October 3, 201511 yr 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
October 3, 201511 yr 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.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.

October 3, 201511 yr Author Chris Young looks like my mechanic.........except taller. To me he looks like Super Dave Marty Funkhouser
