Quote:What I don't understand is how the Yankees automatically won the division. I thought that if the Sox won two of three they would have a playoff in NY to find out who won the division. I don't see how Cleveland losing affects that.if cleveland had won there was the potential for a 3 way tie for 2 spots in the playoffs. but they lost, so now, if boston wins tomorrow, cleveland's out, whether they win or lose. if the sox lose tomorrow and cleveland wins they'll play each other on monday. if the sox win tomorrow they tie the yanks in the division but the yankees have the winning record over boston 10-8 or something i think, so they get the title.
