Notes: I have a rule in the clubhouse that we don't celebrate anything in losses. We clinched our wildcard in a loss, so we didn't celebrate it. Instead, I threatened to get out the whip if we didn't start acting like a competent baseball team. Needless to say, nobody's listening. We're in the playoff crapshoot, maybe we'll get lucky...but for the moment, we're not thinking about potential promotion. We're thinking about what we need to do to make sure the later innings in the wildcard game aren't decided by our bullpen, which is about as useful as a dull razor.
