• If three clubs finish the season with the same winning percentage and one team will be a division winner and another will be the Wild Card, the games will be played as follows:
» The two teams tied for the division lead will play the one-game tie-breaker, with the winner being declared the division champion.
» The losing team will then play the club from the other division for the Wild Card.
Also, if there is a 4 way tie...
Mets play Phils for division
D-back play Pads for Division
Losers would then play a game for the wildcard
Four-way tiebreaker system (Both NL East teams and two NL West teams):
Monday: Mets vs Phillies for the NL East title in Philadelphia
Monday: NL West playoff
Tuesday: The two losers face off for the Wild Card.
Here are the various scenarios
Diamondbacks at Philadelphia
Philadelphia at San Diego
Philadelphia at Colorado
Arizona at New York
San Diego at New York
New York at Colorado
Then after one of these or none of these scenarios play out the NLDS starts in the home of the West champ on Friday, and Saturday in the East. The top seeded team gets the Wildcard winner out of one of these senarios. If a team from the West wins the Wild Card they would play the East represenative. If it’s a team from the East they will play the division winner from the West. Then the team from the Central gets the other one.
Got it?
Updated since Colorado won, but if they would have lost tonight it could have looked like this:
Five-way tie:
Monday: Mets vs. Phillies for the NL East title in Philadelphia
Monday and Tuesday: The Rockies, Diamondbacks, and Padres have a three team playoff to decide the West, with the Rockies having home field advantage for both of their games due to having the best head-to-head record.
Wednesday and Thursday: The three losing teams would then have a three team playoff to decide the Wild Card winner. The team with the best head-to-head record against the other two would be granted home field advantage. If the winner is an Nl West team they will the winner of the NL East tie-breaker and vice versa.
Monday and Tuesday: Three team playoff with Rockies having home field advantage to decide the West
Wednesday and Thursday: The two losers would then have a three team playoff with the NL East team
Arizona-Colorado-Philadelphia: home field goes to Arizona
Arizona-San Diego-Philadelphia: home field goes to Arizona
Colorado-San Diego-Philadelphia: Rockies
Colorado-San Diego-New York: Rockies
Arizona-San Diego-New York: Arizona
Arizona-Colorado-New York: Arizona

oops i crapped my pants!
I knew I never should have started hanging out with Wayne Brady. Damn!
Now see here, dem Mets up in New York. They been fooled a few more times than once.
hi certane :)
I think its ridiculous that you can choose your format for a better record.
Baseball was meant to be played everyday, not so that you can start 2 guys 4 out of the 5 games. Baseball playoffs are about your middle starters making starts, your stars coming in and making heroic efforts out of the bullpen.
I really am against this format, and I think it changes the nature of baseball. All season long these guys play 6 games a week all of a sudden you're gonna change the format of the game that has become the custom over 162 games??
On a much more important topic, anyone on this blog got some clean pee I can borrow? My parole officer is going to kill me.
You killed by brother Vick. No one can help you now.
The playoff formatt sucks, I do not think you understand the reasoning. Its two fold.
1. The need to give the team witht he best record a bigger advantage over the wild card than just home field.
2. The TV stations basically rule the scheduling and have in turn ruined every sports playoff system (exception of NFL because they have no choice but to play on Sunday).
So in conclusion, Selig needs to grow a pair and tell the TV stations that they cannot stretch out the playoffs like this. In addition, they need to institute a play-in game where the two best teams who do not win the division play on the Monday to decide who goes to the playoffs. This would prevent the Wild Card team from getting that day of rest and not allow them to set-up their pitching.
Way too logical for it to happen.
I am wat happened to the Knicks in the 1990s all those years. I am also what happened to the Giants in San Francisco in 2003 and the Yankees in 2004 against the Sox.
I am not wat is happening to the Mets. The Mets scored 4 or more runs in 11 straight games. They have battled back again and again, their pitching just sucks. It has sucked since the beginning of August. Why is it if a team loses a lead its called choking automatically? Choking is being afraid to succeed and playing tight. The Met offense has been at its best all of September (before last night). The problem is that you can' count on guys named Sosa, Mota, and Feliciano in big spots. Not very difficult to understand.
TO be clear, I am insulted that my name is being associated with the Mets. I attack teams that deserve to win, not teams that are assembled with piching that no one else wants becuase they suck.
Mr. Michael Vick, you killed my father, prepare to die!
No son.
Blowing a 7 game lead in the last month or so is you. No matter how crappy pitching staff is. They got there somehow
They got there by being mediocre, and the rest of the NL East sucking. Look at the season. the team never had a winning streak over 5 games and have basically a .500 record at home. Those are not signs of a good team.
If you think any team that has a lead and loses it is choking, then fine. I think you are not giving the team coming back nearly enough credit by doing that.
THis is not taking the Mets off the hook, this is just saing they suck. They do have time to still choke though. Last night was a pretty listless game. A couple more like that and I will change my tune.
TOTAL HYPOTHETICAL
If you lived with a big Mutts fan, would you hide all sharp objects in your apt or leave them out in the open, perhaps near a Mets hat that he ripped in half last night?
Again, no need for a quick response to save my roommate's life, because this is a TOTAL HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION.
Yeah, so we ran out of toilet paper in the bathroom and have a serious mess to clean up in here - most of it is on you know who's face. Could somebody please bring us some tp?
Thanks.
Little Timmy just bought Mike Vick's dog fighting and various torture devices at police auction.
Should I be worried?
I've got two tickets to paradise. Anyone interested?
