Lol, I guess you're right. Shows how much I paid attention to the playoffs by the end.

I'd have to double-check, but I think 2007 was the last time this happened.

2007 World Series: Boston over Colorado, neither made the 2006 postseason
2006 World Series: St. Louis over Detroit, neither made the 2007 postseason

In case anyone's wondering about AL wild card tiebreakers...

Twins>Royals>Tigers>Mariners* in any 2-way, 3-way, or 4-way tie

*If Seattle and KC finish in a 2-way tie with exact records of 87-75, then the M's go through; in any other scenario, Royals>Mariners

Sox with a very important series against the Twins, playing a double header today.

Alex Cora got tossed in the 1st inning of Game 1, Triston Casas responded with his first ever 3-HR game, and the first for the Sox in two years.

White Sox have now tied the 1962 Mets with their 120th loss, the 2nd most in MLB history next to the 1899 Cleveland Spiders*, and most in AL history (2003 Tigers finally not in the record books)

Look on the bright side, the Mets would win the WS 7 years later and the Tigers would make the WS just 3 years later.

Quite possibly just saw Alonso’s last at bat in Citi Field as a Met

Finally, thought this day would never end.
