We came up with one in another tournament, but I can't remember where it's posted off the top of my head. In the case of a three way tie, we have a three-team playoff. We'd use the best record vs. the top teams tie-breaker to rank them 1-3. Teams 2 & 3 would play, and the winner would then play team 1.

I believe we discussed having teams 1 & 2 play, with the loser playing team 3, and the winner of the second game playing the winner of the first, but the other set-up was determined to be preferable.

stats updated.

and the Giants wont catch that record, because I am really hoping to fill up my spreadsheet in a day or two.

Other than Avila starting I think only 3 games, I pretty much have.

I expect your "A" team to play against the playoff contending teams. Let's show some integrity here.

Thank you.

Selectful resting pisses me off in real baseball. I don't know why the media doesn't doesn't get all over that crap.

So not only did I lose to Joe Fucking Nathan, Bob Allison-the guy I told phatJ to keep in the lineup- hit the game winning HR with 2 down in the 9th.... after Torii Hunter extends the inning on Max Scherzer's error.

Goddamned Twins.

meanwhile, Everyday Eddie Guardado retires Cash/Greenberg/Miggy in order to end it.
