Just wanted to say that baseball may not be flashy or as entertaining to watch as football, but tonight is an amazing night to watch. 20 minutes to 11 here in NYC and things still aren't decided, just ridiculous. It's America's pastime for a reason!

I did the same thing just for fun. Amazing comeback by the Rays.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Running up the score article I found.
The one exception to this general rule is in regards to the NFL's tiebreaking rules that are used to determine which teams qualify for the playoffs if they are tied in the standings. One criterion to break ties is comparing the total number of points scored by each team during the regular season. Under this scenario, running up the score in a late season game is not considered poor sportsmanship because there is a benefit to having the score higher. This scenario occurred during the 1999 season when the Green Bay Packers could possibly have made the playoffs if the Dallas Cowboys had lost and they had scored enough points against the Arizona Cardinals in their final regular season game to surpass the Carolina Panthers in total points scored. They ended up beating the Cardinals 49-24 (not a huge margin of victory by football standards), but Dallas went on to beat the Giants later that day to earn the final playoff spot and knock the Packers out of the playoff picture anyway
