Bucky Dent never would have hit that cheap home run.

I hope they fix this. Could I schedule a playoff manually?

There was a work around once upon a time I think in 6.5 dealing with three way ties where one could manually schedule a game or games between the teams with a possibility of a tie. If there was no tie, those games were deleted and the game went on to the post-season. I'm not sure if this would work in 2006 but you might test it.
