Extra baseball in the National League

Holy smokes. The Rockies defeated the Diamondbacks to set up a one-game playoff tomorrow with the San Diego Padres, who lost to the Brewers today.

There've been a few memorable one-game playoffs. The most famous one in NY and Boston is the 1978 game decided by Bucky "Effing" Dent's home run, but there have been others. The one that I remember was in 1980, when the Dodgers swept a three-game series with the Astros to force the playoff game but then got beaten on a Joe Niekro six-hitter.
