I am pretty sure the playoffs start on Tuesday. How could they do another game on Tuesday between the Cards & Astros? I think there is a game scheduled that involves one of these teams, but I could be wrong.

Tim yes, they would have a playoff. I know it sounds nuts. What they would do is shuffle the other NL game to Tuesday and lets Cards-Astros winner vs whoever start on Wednesday. They only do best record in a case like Yankees sox last year when both teams are going to the playoffs. If only one is going, they DEFINITELY have a playoff. That rule hasn't changed one bit.

Well in that case then I am rooting for that scenario to happen. More baseball is always better, as long as the game mean something. I am not a Houston fan by any means, nor a Cardinal hater, I just find this all very interesting and something to follow until the playoffs start. Its hard for me to stay up and watch the Dodger/Padre games. They dont end until 1:30am.
