[Bote McBoteface]

So, what would have to happen for the Rockies to make the playoffs?

Assuming the Mets lose, a Rockies win + a Padres loss results in a one game playoff on Monday between the Padres and Rockies.

THIS. Padres doing their best to try to blow it

So if the Rockies force a one game playoff, I still get games 3 and 4 on Saturday and Sunday right?

The only scenario that would likely delay the playoffs is the 4 team scenario. Every other one (including the Rockies-Padres playoff) and the playoffs should continue on schedule.

So the Phillies are the champs of the NL East. The Padres lost, so the Rockies control their own fate right now. They win, they play tomorrow. They lose, they go home. Regardless, we're playing the DBacks in the NLDS.

 

Wow, as I type this, the Rockies take a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the 8th.

[Derwood]

yeah, the 4-way tie is off, so the Cubs play Arizona. everyone with tix can breathe easy

[Fro]

4-1 Rockies now and bases still loaded with no outs in Bot 8th

 

If they hang on, the Padres fly out there for the Wild Card playoff game tomorrow. Winner plays Philly on Wed.

[CubsBears29]

Well, at least we get a 1-game playoff.

 

San Diego @ Colorado tomorrow, to determine the WC winner, and who gets to start a series @ Philadelphia on Wednesday (or Thursday?).
