IF...The Mets, Phillies, and Rockies win and the Padres lose tomorrow, four teams would have 89 wins.
Which would mean:
Mets/Phillies play a one game playoff to determine the NL East Championship
The loser would then enter a three-way Wild Card playoff. By virture of coin flips, the Rockies can choose to play two games at home or one on the road. Likely the Rockies choose that the Padres play the loser of the Mets/Phillies game, and the Rockies go on the road to face the winner of Padres vs. Phillies/Mets to ultimately determine the wild card.
That is NUTS.
Though it sure beats deciding playoff berths by virtue of runs scored or record against each other when it comes to teams with identical records...
Of course, this could all be moot too. But I think it's kinda neat/crazy.
Four Way Wildcard Tie Possible?

ESPN has a good write up on all the scenarios: http://sports.espn.g...tory?id=3038686
I skimmed the article, its all so crazy I'm not going to try to make sense out of it right now because I have a headache.
