Tiebreaker scenarios for the AL Wild Card spots announced.

If all three teams finish the year with the same record, Cleveland hosts Tampa Bay on Monday, September 30th. The winner of that game gets a Wild Card spot. The loser of that game plays at Texas on Tuesday, October 1st for the second Wild Card spot. The actual Wild Card game would follow that on Wednesday, October 2nd. The host team is determined as follows:

If Tampa Bay and Cleveland play, Tampa Bay hosts.
If Tampa Bay and Texas play, Texas hosts.
If Cleveland and Texas play, Cleveland hosts.

Note that this situation only happens in the event of a three way tie for both spots. If two teams tie for the second spot with the third team taking the first spot outright, the tied teams would have a one game playoff with the host determined the same as above. The winner of that game would then travel to the first Wild Card team to play the Wild Card game.

Has there ever been this much fanfare for a guy going out like Rivera before? Seems really weird to me. Like yeah he's the greatest closer of all time but the constant tributes and "moments" seem like a bit much.

To be honest I can't really think of any other player who would deserve a sendoff like Rivera. He's just been ludicrously good his entire career, probably could go another few years at a high level if he really wanted to. But moreover he's always been so humble and such a huge class act. I hate the Yankees and so do a lot of people, but Rivera is the one guy there isn't a bad word to say about.

I don't even know if Jeter would get this kind of sendoff. Then again I'm not sure he's the type who would pre-announce his retirement. He'll turn 40 during next year but if he goes back to putting up Jeter-esque numbers I think he'd just keep going on a year-to-year basis and retire in the offseason when he does hang 'em up.

If he did announce retirement ahead of time I'm sure he'd get honored at each park and everything but it'd probably be more like Chipper Jones' sendoff than Rivera's. The biggest Jeter "moments" would probably come during the ASG and at Yankee Stadium, where he'd almost definitely get the same honor as Mo in having his number retired while still active.

Speaking of honoring players - Mike Piazza goes into the Mets HOF tomorrow and it's shockingly expected to be a sellout crowd. Not bad for a meaningless Mets/Brewers game on a NFL Sunday.

But the Mets have said they still aren't retiring his number. I'll never understand why they're so stingy about this. They haven't given 31 out since Piazza left. It's clear they're never going to give it out again...so just retire it. He's the best hitter you've ever had, you dummies.

Do they have some sort of requirement for retiring numbers?


The Red Sox themselves are pretty strict with their requirements since its both 10 years played on the team and be in the MLB Hall to get a number retired.

The Red Sox themselves are pretty strict with their requirements since its both 10 years played on the team and be in the MLB Hall to get a number retired.
Nope, the Mets don't have any sort of requirement. There's a panel of like 7 people who vote on the team HOF and whether or not to retire any numbers. So far they've only retired 3 - 2 managers (Casey Stengel and Gil Hodges) and Tom Seaver. The committee has said they don't want it to get to the point where they retire one number and risk opening up Pandora's Box. That's why there are no '86 Mets numbers retired. If you retire Gary Carter's number 8, you open up talk on if 16-18 should also go up for Gooden, Hernandez, and Strawberry since all of them played such huge roles in the Mets' greatest season ever.

I'm glad they don't retire the number of every significant player ever...but I do at least think each "era" should get a number retirement. Keith Hernandez' 17 should go up as he was really the leader of the Mets through most of the '80s. Carter only spent 5 years with the Mets, but he was a co-captain so if they were to put 8 up as well I wouldn't mind. Both numbers are out of circulation anyway so it makes little sense to not officially retire them. Gooden's 16 and Strawberry's 18 don't really have much of a case, they were great but should have been HOF'ers if not for the off field problems. 17 and possibly 8 is fine to do the '80s justice.

Then you throw Piazza's 31 up for the late '90s early 00's, and from there you don't have to worry about retiring another number until 2020 Wright (who already has most of the team records and will have a HUGE lead in everything by the time he's done) retires. That would be 6 or 7 numbers retired over about 60 years. That's really not that bad.

Lol 7-1 Jays now in the 5th. Goins and Pillar both hit 2 run home runs. If Tampa gets swept Tampa's 5 fans will be pissed.

I thought Pence was done last year. He looked slow and old... but managed to pull himself together again. Not so sure about 5 years

Sounds like Mo getting an inning in CF isn't going to happen. Knee is bothering him, plus Houston has that hill in center field. So that means his career is officially done, he's already said he's not pitching as he wanted Thursday's game to be his last moment on the mound.

Bet he gets one final "moment" next year. I'd guess he's the odds-on favorite to toss out the first pitch on Opening Day.

5 meaningful games today. The Indians clinch a WC berth and home field for the one game playoff with a win. An Indians loss and wins by the Rays and Rangers brings about the 3-way tie scenario mentioned on the last page. Would LOVE to see that happen as it means extra baseball.

In the NL, all eyes are on Atlanta and St. Louis. Cardinals clinch the 1 seed with a win or Braves loss. Braves win the 1 seed with a win and Cardinals loss.
