We did it. The Tigers are in the playoffs for the first time in nineteen years. I sure wish I could fly to Michigan right now.

This is so amazing.

Yeah, I saw that, and I was confused-how are they definitely in the playoffs, when Minnesota hasn't officially been eliminated from first place in the division yet (and obviously from the Wild Card, either)?

The wild card race is down to just Minnesota and Chicago now, and Chicago has been mathematically eliminated from the division race. They can't possibly finish with a better record than the Tigers, so the Tigers are guaranteed at least second place in the division, and with no other wild card contenders remaining, that's enough to get them in.

Okay, that makes sense-because I was combing the (MLB) article, and it made no mention of their actually taking the AL Central, and I see Minn hasn't been eliminated from that, either!
