If those three teams are forced to tie at the end of the season, then you have a mini tournment of two teams playing on Monday, then the winner plays the 3rd team on Tuesday. Which means, if this situation pops up, then the Cubs could potentially miss either Johan Santana or Cole Hamels for Games 1 and 2. The earliest the Cubs would face either pitcher would be Game 3. I would assume the Mets would throw Perez and Martinez, and the Phills Myers and Blanton (if Myers isn't used in thay hyperthetical situation) against the Cubs, if this situation plays. So let's hope for a 3 way tie for the Wild Card... Not to nitpick but there's no way the Phils throw Blanton before Moyer.
