ok...but putting that in context...seattle didn't make the postseason...therefore, it has no event on my arguement are you serious? yes I'm confused as to why the Seattle record "has no event". The point was that Seattle had a winning record in one run games, and yet that didn't affect their overall record. Indians had a losing record in one run games, and yet they managed to still win 93 games. Those are both significant in that it shows that one run games have little to no effect on overall record. Who made the playoffs has nothing to do with anything. yeah, i meant to say no bearing...i am just waking up...sorry for the shoddy typing... but i am not relating it to the season...i am trying to relate it to the postseason and series I see. I'm not sure why we should be concerned about our one-run record then, because if we don't make the playoffs, it doesn't matter at all then. It's April, and we're 5 games back already. Lets just concentrate on getting back to .500...blowouts or not. let me just say this...i was being melodramatic when i said the 40 game win streak stuff...i will take that in the off chase it happened and be high on life because of it...but...i still think it is foolish to believe that there will be no close games in the playoffs all i am saying is that, so far, it looks like the cubs have a very bad habit of choking or just plain giving in when it is a close game i just really want to see that change is all because, personally, i want this team to be running on all cylinders when going into the playoffs...i want them to chew up teams and spit them out...i want them to lay waste to the NL field, and then i want them to walk into the series and mark their territory in a very unforgettable way... i just want total domination...is that too much to ask? 8-)
