The team with the best record plays the wild card unless they're in the same division, unless I'm mistaken.

^ I did some checking. Wiki entry on the 2010 ALDS says this:
I went to Kauffman tonight and saw the Minnesota/KC game tonight. Good, fun, awesome game. We murdered them 10-1! Kila Ka'aihue who got a 3-run homer in the first-inning, a 1-run homer in the third, walked in the fifth (considering his first two at-bats probably not a bad idea on the pitcher's part.
) and then just shy of a homer in the seventh but ended up with a Triple instead, the next batter would get a homerun.
This is a guy I plan to keep an eye on and someone I hope the Royals hang onto. definitely a player we need to keep!

You a Royals fan? I didn't know that...
I saw Ka'aihue play in Omaha a few times. Exciting stuff.
Thanks again, Cubs! Giants win tonight, Pads lose...Giants go to 2 games up in 1st!
It happened almost right on cue. I was flipping back and forth from the Giants game and WGN/MLB Network (Both showing the Padre Game) and the Padres lost first, turned it to the Giants and Wilson got the final strikeout.
Up 2 games with 5 to play. Fantastic.
Exiting stuff! Can't wait for tomorrow!

So how long until the rest of the NL race is decided?
The West is the last division to be decided with the Reds clinching the NL Central tonight. The Giants' magic number is 4. Easier said than done, but all they have to do is keep winning and hope the Pads lose a few more. I can't even begin to imagine who sweet it would be to clinch the West at home...especially if it's before SD even rolls into the Bay Area.
^ What about the Wild Card?
Atlanta leads the Pads by a game and a half. The WC will come down to either the Braves, Giants or Pads.
YES!!!! The Reds clinch!! It's been 15 long years since they've been to the playoffs. It was electric listening to the 9th inning on the radio as I was driving home. From Aroldis Chapman's 1-2-3 top of the 9th to the first pitch walk-off homer by Jay Bruce.
I also think this is success that can be sustained. With their young pitching who's had success this year: Mike Leake, Travis Wood, Johnny Cueto, Homer Bailey and Chapman. (And that doesn't count Matt Maloney, who spent most of the year in the minors, but did have a couple good starts subbing for injuries.) And the young position players with Bruce, Joey Votto and Drew Stubbs.
But that's next year. Today I'm going to bask in a long awaited playoff berth.

I'm hoping the Twins face the Rays right off the bat since the Twins seem to always have trouble with the Yankees (this year the Twins haven't done well against the Rays either). I'd rather see Texas face the Yankees- I think they have a better shot of taking them out. I'm having a hard time rooting for the Yankees right now though.
I think the wild card is going to come down to the last day of the season. I'm really worried about facing the Phillies again.
^ hey, I live in Omaha where the O-Royals are, and look who I root for. 
Looking forward to the '10 playoffs. Still hope the Yanks can clinch AL East...

Did you sit by the other fan in the stadium? I hear that guy gets lonely.
Ouch
