In order that it could happen.
1. Florida - If Philadelphia beats Houston today
2. San Francisco - If Philadelphia beats Houston OR if the Giants lose to Arizona
3. White Sox - If they lose to Cleveland AND the Twins beat Kansas City
4. Angels - If they lose to Texas AND Oakland beats Seattle

I'll take "things that must be a hoax" for 1,000 Alex:
CINCINNATI (Reuters) -- A car commercial proclaiming a jihad on the U.S. auto market and offering "Fatwa Fridays" with free swords for the kids is offensive and should not be aired, Muslim leaders said on Sunday.
The radio advertisement for the Dennis Mitsubishi car dealership in Columbus, Ohio, has "a whole jihad theme," said Adnan Mirza, director of the Columbus office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"They are planning on launching a jihad on the automotive market and their representatives would be wearing burqas ... ," Mirza said. "They mentioned the pope in there and also about giving rubber swords out to the kiddies -- really just reprehensible-type comments."
I like the way that Mirza backs off a bit there at the end.
If somebody gets angry about his criticism, he can always say, "Hey, I never said they were reprehensible comments. I said they were reprehensible-TYPE comments. Huge, huge difference."
Or all those people in St. Peter's Square waiting for the White Smoke of a new Pope (hey -- trying to stay on a potential-blasphemy theme). An expectant mob, a curious mob?
18 Meh. I expect the Tigers to get knocked out in the 1st round, and I expect the Yanks to finish with the 2nd-best record in the AL, so I don't think it will matter.
Though I would like to see the Yanks beat the Mets for the NY Metro area title!

It should be a taut battle between the two teams. And home field in the World Series of course decided by Michael Young's ability to hit Trevor Hofffman.
Is it always up to Rangers players to decide who gets homefield in the World Series?
So the invitations can almost be sent, the Yankees will be playing either the Twins or the Tigers while in a few days, the A's can clinch playing the winner of the Central.

I'm only surprised the dealership wasn't related to the late Marge Schott. (Her hubby was in the dealership biz, wasn't he?)

... and you can drive a jihad bargain!
New game!!!
Let's start naming all the players we think wouldn't be able to define "effigy"
isn't "angry mob" a bit redundant? :-)
"happy mob"???? "happy meal"???
(still not really WORKING at my real job)

Not a mob?
The crowd might get ornery!
It might become a mob.
