If there’s a three way tie:
If it’s LAD/SFG/CHC, then because of coin tosses and the NL West being involved, it’ll be the Dodgers @ the Giants in the first game. If the Giants lose, they stay at home, and the Cubs travel there to meet them. If the Dodgers lose – well, they actually didn’t do the coin toss there yet. Hmmm.
If it’s HOU/SFG/CHC for just the Wild Card, there are no coin tosses involved; it’s just a ranked two game elimination battle.
G1: Team A @ Team B
G2: Team C @ Winner
Who gets which spot is decided by the records against the rest of the group:
Giants 8-4 .667 Cubs 12-13 .480 Astros 11-14 .440
(figuring out this chart is why I did this)
Top record gets first pick, so the Giants have clinched first choice. The sane thing would be to take the Team C slot, because you’d only need one win to move on. Cubs would logically choose to be Team B, and hope to win two straight home games.
On any two way tie, the Cubs lost the coin toss and will be visitor in a 163 game.
“Am I the only person in the world who thinks Flair took out Orton to get into the vote himself?”
I’m afraid so. In fact, you’re still waiting for Flair to turn on HHH to prove he’s still the dirtiest player in the game as you predicted when they first joined up, IIRC. The nice thing about you, the Cubs Fan, is that you book stuff with the idea in mind that Flair could still be a worthwhile performer and mean something as more than HHH’s caddy, but clearly they disagree.
hate to disagree with you Justin, but there’s a NEW Dirtiest player around.
