    So we are getting close to looking at tie breakers:

    Can some one explain how 5 and 6 would ever come into play since 4 is effectively head to head. If 4 does not apply does that not mean they tied?

    Three way ties or even four way ties in theory.  You can have a three way tie where all three teams beat the last place team and then all go 1-1 among themselves (ala Texas, Tech, and OU in 2008) or all tie each other.  You could also have a four way tie if all games in a group are tied but I doubt this would ever happened.

  2. Paxton vs Severino is pretty good for a Wednesday matinee.  Judge just hit a 2 run homer in the bottom of the 1st and Stanton almost made it back to back but was robbed on a hell of a catch by Haniger in center.

  3. The bad part about last night was that Giles let Gomez get out of town with his BA back over .190 after that hit in the 9th.

    Interesting where Boston is. They gotta win now, or they're doomed.

    Comes with hiring Dombrowski.  He's torn up farm systems everywhere he's been.

    farther, not further.

    so here's something i have been thinking about.  obviously, task number 1 is to keep the angels and mariners (who are proving to be quite the nuisance) off our asses in the AL west and clear the division handily.  however, i have been debating whether we want to finish 1 in the AL or 2.  I think i would rather finish 2 so that the Yankees and Sox have to play each other in the DS and we can play cleveland instead of having to play both again like last year.  the way we have played on the road relative to home, i think i'd rather get cleveland and then go on the road to the yanks/sox winner than have the sox/yanks at home and then the sox/yanks at home afterwards.  that said, we were substantially better at home against both of those teams in the playoffs last year.  tough call...what say you?

    It doesn't really make a shit.  Last year I badly wanted the best record to play the wc winner in the 1st round and avoid having to beat both Boston and Cleveland as all year it looked like there was a pretty big drop after the top 3.  We see how that worked out.

    It goes to fair play points first.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that.  Because it's so fucking stupid I guess.

  6. Spain and Portugal sitting on the same GF and GA.  If they have identical scorelines again next matchday, then they draw lots to see who is 1st in the group?
