Chaos? Not quite. Just a couple of days ago, it looked like we would have a wild final day of the MLB season. Even heading into Saturday, we still had the possibility of a three-team tie in the American League West -- with the Toronto Blue Jays potentially matching the AL West teams at 89 wins. But then we set a record for most playoff spots clinched in a 90-minute span. In rapid-fire fashion, the Miami Marlins clinched a wild card when they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Texas Rangers clinched with a win over the Seattle Mariners, the Blue Jays clinched when the Mariners lost, the Arizona Diamondbacks clinched with their game in progress when the Cincinnati Reds lost, and then the Houston Astros clinched when they beat the Diamondbacks.
