Braves won their record 23rd consecutive game that Kris Medlen started. And it was Chipper's final regular-season game in Atlanta of his career.

ChadFL · 10-01-2012, 01:20 AM

The end of an era. It was Chipper's final game against his favorite opponent. And he made sure to torture the Mets right to the end.

so with this stupid new wild card format, how exactly does it work?

there is a play in game to see who gets the wild card? one game only?

the reason i ask, is becuase i got an alert and saw articles this morning saying the yanks, Os and Texas have made the playoffs....when, i dont think thats accurate...

making the "Wild Card game" doesnt qualify as the playoffs in my book...

can someone clarify this

They have made the playoffs. 5 teams from each league make the playoffs. The new single-game round is part of the playoffs.

It is how it works, and it's not a game to get into the playoffs.

Essentially it is. It doesn't matter what the league party line says.

Except it isn't. The game is the first round of the playoffs.

There's no practical difference between this "playoff" game and the "play-in" games we've had in the past, other than this new "playoff" game allows a team who wouldn't have deserved the old "play-in" game.

I'm sure the team that loses this new game will be greatly comforted by the fact that they made it to the "playoffs". I'm sure they'll raise banners in honor of making it this far.

I'm not saying it's any different. But by rule, they made the playoffs.

I actually like the additional wild card, but I think it should at least be a 3-game series. I imagine it eventually will be.

sycro · 10-02-2012, 01:51 AM

And the Gnats win the NL East.

Oh well, at least it's not the Phillies.

Cabrera update: 3 for 4, 1 HR, 1 RBI, top 7th.

I know what the league says, but I have to agree with Hatter. These ridiculous one game playoffs are a regular season play-in game to me. Kind of like those stupid play-in games the NCAA basketball tournament has. And no, I don't hate it because it hurts the Braves this season, I said I hated this two Wild Card idea the moment they announced it.

Except those stupid play-in games for the NCAA tournament are still apart of the tournament. It's stupid that they added them, but they wanted more of the "big boys" in the tournament.

Why I wish they would get rid of divisions: Detroit Tigers win the AL Central. Would be in 4th place in the AL East and AL West.
