Playoffs -- what would it take?

[SteveA]

Well, we're up against it now.   Toronto beat the Yankees tonight.  There's now only one way the O's can make the playoffs:

1) Sweep the Red Sox

2) Toronto loses three to the Yankees the next three days

3) Seattle loses at least 2 games (2@Hou, 4 vs Oak)*
    *If Seattle goes 5-1 or better, we would still be OK if Houston loses at least 5 of their last 6 (2vsSea, 4 vs Tex)

4) Angels lose at least 1 more game (2 vs SD, 3 @Dodgers)

Wow, I'm shocked to see we're technically still in it.

I basically called it done a couple of losses ago. But how could I forget, it ain't over till it's over!

6 games left, so basically the O's have been in contention for 90 percent of the season. Who'd a thunk?

If we could somehow sweep the Sox, the rest could happen... never know.

An act of God, and God is watching football right now.

For playoff slots to awarded in order of worst record, not best.
