Say What???

I wasn't really paying attention to what was on the television when I heard the announcer say

"And the win puts Kansas City in a tie with New York for the position..."

This totally confused me. I knew that the Yankees had lost tonight and KC had won (on the strength of an 8th inning Mark Teahen inside-the-park home run). But a quick check confirmed that the Royals and NY are not even in the same division, and even if they were, neither are lined up for the Wild Card berth (if the playoffs started today).

Then I remembered what I had been watching. This was the Major League Soccer news (during halftime of the Chivas USA / LA Galaxy match).
