JUST IN CASE...
In the "Tie Your Mother Down" department, if the Mariners and A's are tied at the end of the regular season for the American League West, the M's will host the 1-game playoff at Safeco Field Monday, September 29.
The same deal goes for the Wild Card, if the M's and Red Sox are tied. Hopefully it doesn't come down to a tie at all. But if it does, I hope it's for the AL West, because the winner of the West would get to host the first two games of the ALDS. If the M's were to win the Wild Card, they would have to travel to Yankee Stadium.
The AL West is all that matters. Don't give me this junk about how the Angels won the World Series with the Wild Card. Different teams, different situations. And do you really want to finish in second? I didn't think so.
