You can either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

I make my own luck

"You live............You die"

Well, I guess we know how that coin flip turned out.

I don't think they should have one-game playoffs

With the exception being games played for the final playoff spot. It seems tie-breakers here would be much more logical in situations where both teams are going to the playoffs anyway. Seems like the prospect of playing a tie-breaking game disadvantages BOTH teams if they make the LDS.

So then this coin flip basically means nothing

Hard as I try I cannot see a scenario in which Boston and Tampa are battling it out for the last playoff spot.

Don't they have other tiebreakers...

Like division record, runs scored vs. each other, which team collectively has the most body hair by weight?
