I can tell you exactly why I included the Cleveland loss in the analysis of why the Yankees clinched today. It's because you framed your question for shit. I quote:
"This is wrong, right? The Yanks did not clinch, they just cemented the Red Sox not being able to clinch without a playoff. The Yanks, if they lose tomorrow (hahahaha) would then have not clinched and have to go to playoffs. Tell me Yahoo fucked up plase"
This is the part of the question where you fucked up. The Yankees and the Red Sox, even assuming all three teams wound up with identical records, would not play each other in a playoff. The tie-breaker would determine the champion of the Eastern Division. The only way the Yankees play a one-game playoff with anybody is if they had lost yesterday and today to the Red Sox, because they would have lost the tie-breaker to them 10 games to 9.
And this is rich, coming from perhaps the most condescending individual on the board (the Snidely sock notwithstanding.)
