The only time Yahoo will count a game after the scheduled end of the regualr season is if it was a makeup game (a game that had been postponed earlier in the year). Any additional games (such as the Tigers-Twins game tomorrow) are not considered part of the regualr season and therefore do not count in the standings.

It is considered a play-off game and will not count. Play-off games or "extra games" have NEVER counted in Yahoo! fantasy leagues.

I emailed Yahoo yesterday to find out. I heard back :

"Yahoo! Sports only counts MLB regular season games for scoring purposes that occur during the normal regular season schedule. Therefore, if a 1 game playoff is needed to determine the division winner or wildcard scoring from this game will not be applied to fantasy leagues. In addition, the season will not be extended for rain outs and/or make up games that take place after the regular season is scheduled to end."

I think they are wrong not to include it. Their own rules state that: "Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Baseball runs throughout the entire 2009 baseball regular season, which begins on Sunday, April 5 and is scheduled to end on Sunday, October 4." If they don't include it, then Yahoo isn't really running through the entire baseball regular season. While it's true that the season was scheduled to end on 10/4, Yahoo never says that scoring stops on that hard cut-off. Since MLB counts the tiebreaker as a regular season game (and includes it in regular season stats), so should Yahoo.

Oh well. Another Yahoo f-up.
