No team has ever lost more than 97 games one year and made the playoffs the next, per the royals broadcast

Let's make some history!

That's true, but with a second wild card, that is a bit skewed to compare it to other seasons without it. But it will still be history if it happens.... and over 100 games lost!

Great win and the Yankees are down by 6 with 3 outs left. The Angels are now down by 2.

Winnah! Let's see if we can't put the Royals out of their misery tomorrow and Sunday.

I admire your desire to end their suffering -- you are a true humanitarian,

Not after she got a good look at me.

 

I suppose she liked dating an older man.  

 

[it is nice to see how many different people on this team have come through at different times.  It is not just one or two people carrying the team.]

Stating the obvious - but we are approaching mid-September and the Twins are still relevant. That is just nice to say.

After tonight, if the Mariners beat the Angels (maybe even if not) it'll more likely than not that they make the playoffs (odds over 50% per BR).

The DBacks' 13-game win streak is in jeopardy, down 8-0 to Padres.

 

Check that, they've scored 5 to make it 8-5 in the sixth.

 

In the AL, the Yankees, Orioles, Rays, and Royals all lost. Angels down 4-2 in the 5th.

 

And Sano hitting and taking fielding tomorrow. Good day for the Twins.

Stealing? I kinda think we are earning them fair and square...

Winning them, one might even say, if one were so inclined.

Of course, 10 teams make the playoffs now. That is 1/3 of the league. Up until 1995, there were 4 playoff teams, 1/7 of the league until the Rockies and Marlins joined.
