                       "MAXIMUM POSSIBLE TIE (THAI ?) -LAND" 2026 :Links not updated yet        
    For More Details,         
  We Began Friday With a Possible Tie Among Nine (9) ALTeams !!! Click on the Links Below        
  That's right, 9 Teams could have tied if we included the two tight Division Races still going on. NL DIVISION STDGS          
    NL WILD CARD STDGS        
  But Hold On, You Say - You Can't Be Serious ! (to quote J. McEnroe)            
  Yes, We Are - And We're Crunching the Numbers to Prove It. AL DIVISION STDGS      
  Here's How It Looks at Start of Sunday: AL WILD CARD STDGS      
                1.  The 9 Teams are No Longer Possible (CLE 80 W Out of Reach of 72 W Teams)  
                2.  But 7 Teams Still Possible at 78 OR 80 Wins - AND 8 TEAMS Could Tie at 79 W !  
  Here are the Three LIVE Scenarios AND Sunday Results Needed to Keep Them ALIVE  
  80 WINS - 7 Teams from CLE (80 W) down to DET (73 W)  
                   SUN Result Needed - CLE L & DET W        
  79 WINS - 8 Teams from CWS (79 W) down to MIN & SEA (72 W)        
                   SUN Result Needed - CWS L AND DET & MIN W        
  78 WINS - 7 Teams from TEX (78 W) down to MIN & SEA (72 W)        
                   SUN Result Needed - Either TEX L, OR MIN & SEA W (latter bumps Target to 79 W)      
           
  Don't Fret, NL Fans - You Have a Similar Situation Involving SIX (Now 4) TEAMS !  And that case        
  has ALL 3 WILD CARD SLOTS in PLAY !!!  We will Post on That in our Next Update        
    End SUN 11:45 am PDT Post      
           
     
       WE ARE BACK and OFF TO THE (2026 PENNANT) RACES !!!  
     
  (NEW content for 2026 only began on SUN. 9-06 with GIANTS "EARLY" ELIM,  
   so NONE of the links in the right-hand column have been updated for 2026.  
   My apologies, but I hope to correct that soon).  
     
Question from 2017:   
     
  Why did NL Office take 2 tries to Decide LA had Clinched Playoffs 9-12-2017?  
  (according to Bill Shaikin of the L A Times)?  We may never know.
