Marlins Forum: Wild card clinch?

Didn't the fish in fact clinch the wild card last night instead of just clinching a tie? Here's why - if the Marlins lose the remaing 3 games, then the Cubs and Astros would have to win thier remaing 3 to create the supposed wild-card tie. However, this would also create a tie for the Central Division lead - therefore requiring a 1 game play-off that would count as a regular season game. the loser of that game would finish with one more loss than Florida and statistically finish out of the wild-card (.579 vs. .576). Ergo, Marlins clinch wild-card!
