it would be a nice gesture to make up the game with proceeds going to Jose's family

If the game isn't made up, it takes away our tiebreaker over all the teams except the Reds, since there will now be no ties. It could end up costing us a few slots in the draft.
We could be nice and give them a win in honor of Jose.
I would be more interested if the Marlins got to within .5 game out of WC #2.. I would think a make up game would be scheduled at that point.
Right, but for every team other than the Reds, even if you gave us a win in the canceled game, it wouldn't change our draft slot because we own the tiebreaker over that team.
So it only helps us against the Reds but could definitely hurt us if we end up tied with a team other than the Reds in the win column.
Things are going swimmingly this evening. Reds and D-Backs are both crushing.
Only negative tonight is Tampa. Looks like they'll be 1.5 back of us now.
At this point the worst we'll get is 6th and the best is 2nd. Arizona and Cincy helped us out tonight. We need Tampa to pick it up and win a few games.
A lot would have to go wrong lol but you're right.
In these last 6 games, to keep the #2 slot in next year's draft:
We can do no more than 1 game better than the Rays and D'Backs.
We can do no more than 2 games better than the Reds and Padres.
We can do no more than 3 games better than the A's.
We will pick somewhere between 2 and 7.
Rest of the season schedules for the teams we are battling:
Rays: 3 @ CWS, 3 @ TEX
Padres: 3 v LAD, 3 @ ARZ
Diamondbacks: 3 @ WAS, 3 v SD
Reds: 3 @ STL, 3 v CHC
Braves: 3 v PHI, 3 v DET
The Reds easily have the hardest record but maybe the Cubs will take it easy since they've clinched already.
I think we will end up in the 4-5 hole...hope I'm wrong, but we could easily win 5 of the next 6 the way we have been playing. Snit needs to let some of the guys like Rio play.
