I think I'm rooting for the A's to come out of the American League. They've got a lot of chippy ball players who are easy to root for, and THOSE are the teams that win championships.

Got to say, I wasn't really thinking it would happen, but damn good stuff! Sucks to be the Rangers right now! Swept by the A's to end the season!
PS, thanks for the acknowledgment.

Also, when teams play tiebreaker games do the stats in the 163rd (or in the potential above scenario 164th) game count towards regular season stats?
I guess it also already predetermined that the Card's/Braves will play in the NL play-in game as well? Am I interpreting all this correct?

I think you, my friend, got suckered by ESPN. I turned it on last night to see the A's/Rangers outcome (I'm off my boycott during football season) and they were talking about a possible tie in the AL west, which was completely not possible. God ESPN sucks.
