The San Diego Padres were the 22nd team to be eliminated from postseason contention after losing the tiebreaker game to the Colorado Rockies, 9-8 in 13 innings.
Congratulations to ToyCannon who won the Griddle Contest to pick the Final Five teams to be eliminated. He won the contest with 10 points. Several other entries had 9 points.
This comes outta the BA thread, but Bob, why did the two leagues do tiebreakers differently before divisional play? Just so that people could come up with crazy statistics like "at the end of the 1951 World Series, there had been 6 MLB playoff games and Ralph Branca had lost 3 of them"?
