That I get. Why you included the Cleveland loss in your analysis of it being part of why the Yanks clinched today is beyond me and the source of my confusion.
btw, you know what is painful besides beng condescended to by spookydouche? Pulling your glute. Which is your ass muscle. You think it would be strong bc of all the fat it carries all the time. I cant freaking walk.

Bottom line.
They go to the head-to-head tiebreaker if BOTH teams are assured of a playoff.
Cleveland losing today means that the best record they can achieve is ONE Game behind the Yankees and Sox (assuming the Sox beat the Yankees tomorrow - and they wont).
Since both teams would then be assured of a playoff spot (in this scenario) the Yanks win the division via tiebreaker.
Ergo, they clinched.
Had Cleveland won today, they still would have had a chance to end the season in a 3 way tie.
PS - F Barry Bonds. 35K showed up today at PacBell to watch a meaningless game - great weather BTW - and this gimp decided to sit it out. The estimation in the seats was that he was paid close to 1.75 million a game this year.
PPS - F Tedford. Cal came nowhere near the over
