They have clinched a playoff berth but NOT the Division. They will either be Eastern Division champs or Wild Card, but they cannot be eliminated from the Playoffs. The Yankees are breathing down their necks - threatening to push them into the Wild Card spot. Go Yankees!!! Pax - C

It means that they have clinched a playoff spot with the X, the Y's mean that that team has won their division.
