"Making" the playoffs is not the ultimate goal. My concern is not about making the playoffs, because we will. My concern is with how crappy they're playing in getting there the last 3 weeks. This is pitiful. At this rate, we're going to get swept out of the playoffs just like last year, after this great season. there is no 'this rate' because it is impossible they will play this bad getting into the playoffs I mean yeah if they are on a 0-30 run going into october I'm with you but that will never happen. How about if they're 8-22 or so heading into the playoffs? Would we have cause for concern? Do you really think they're going to go 8-22 the rest of the way? I don't expect it, but we do have a few rough series coming up.
