    There will be no 11-0 season series sweep of Oakland by the Mariners

    They just need to keep doing what they are doing and then beat Mariners head to head.

    Because mutiny on the bounty's what we're all about
    I'm gonna' board your ship and turn it on out
    No soft sucker with a parrot on his shoulder
    'Cause I'm bad gettin' bolder cold cold getting colder
    Terrorizing suckers on the seven seas
    And if you've got beef you'll get capped in the knees
    We got sixteen men on a dead man's chest
    And I shot those suckers and I'll shoot the rest



    This is how we treat Seattle, yet again, just like last year.

    You have the 3 teams losing a total of 4 series all month, and winning or tying nearly ever out of division series. That seems a bit unrealistic to me.

    Also just FYI the dates, I think you meant September and '9/' for them.

    Thanks for the link

    FTR the "DNCD" does not control destiny indicator on that is not correct

    It says, team must still get help from other teams if it wins all its remaining games.

    Not true for any of 3 ALW teams, because of common games, if any of them win every remaining game they win division regardless of what other teams do.
