August 31, 200520 yr No offense GreatScott, but I'll be a happy man if I never hear another ".500 is all they need" statement. Good post though, I appreciate the research you put in.
August 31, 200520 yr hey man- when we have been playing the way we've been playing- you think crazy scenarios like this.
August 31, 200520 yr QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:53 PM) hey man- when we have been playing the way we've been playing- you think crazy scenarios like this. Oh, I know. I just think a lot of people recently here thought it was completely impossible for this team to do anything worse than .500. All I want is for this team to make the playoffs....and if that means for the Indians and Twins to lose every game they play the rest of the way, then that's fine w/me.

September 1, 200520 yr I'm not happy with just getting there. With the way he started this year, just getting there and getting beat before we even realize the playoffs started isn't satisfactory.

I NEVER thought this team was good enough to win the World Series. I'll consider it a successful season if we make the playoffs.

I'll consider it a successful season if we make the playoffs. considering all the unknowns going into the season, along with the Twins favored to win it all, I have to say this is a good point. But after the way this team caught fire...I don't know, I guess my expectations changed. But everytime I watch the Great Escape I always think Steve McQueen's going to jump that fence. I'm weird like that.
