Getting in the playoffs absolutely matters. Then the Division. Then the 2 seed.
Spankees won tonight. So....the M's are officially in the playoffs with a win tonight. Step 1. And the ONLY thing we can clinch tonight. And NO I am not satisfied with just making the playoffs. But I'm absolutely going to be F&#^;# stoked if a playoff birth happens tonight.
Also, Detroit lost AGAIN (7 in a row) so the M's magic number for the 2 seed is now at 3.
was just going to say the exact same thing.This is the definition of a trap game. We just won the biggest series in the last 20 years, and now we come home to play one of the worst teams in baseball.
Guys are still riding the high from the Houston series, hopefully they wake up soon.
I hear ya. They won 14 of 15. They were due a clunker.Did you really think my point was that making the playoffs doesn't matter? C'mon man.
What I meant was that the only thing that matters right now, tonight, is winning this game. Doing that is step 1, and gets us closer to all of those other goals.
Hopefully the lineup gets their shit together because so far, outside of that solo HR Canzone just hit, they've been dominated by a guy with an ERA over 9.
