White Sox fan Cyril Morong, who I have been corresponding with during these last couple of games, pointed out a St. Paul paper article in which Gardy...
It ain't perfect, so one could make arguments about using head to head to determine a one-game playoff. But I really can't think of any argument that it's not...
There's been a discussion recently in baseballmn about the fairness/ unfairness of deciding the home field for the Twins-White Sox tiebreaker game by a coin...
I don't really disagree with what either Alan or Alden has written on this subject. Alden brought up a lot of good points and possibilities, but I also agree...
And ALL of those scenarios would be better than a coin flip. Nothing is perfect, but a coin flip is the most imperfect solution. On another subject, before...
Regarding the coin flip, Alan, I'd like to be sure that I understand you correctly. Are you really saying that ANYTHING supposedly based on game results would...
