Every single game counts In 2011 the Nationals got a bit screwed because of a rained-out postponed game that never happened because it wasn't significant to the playoff picture. I forget which team it was the Mets maybe? They only played 161 games that season and finished with a painful 80-81 record. A losing season, but with one unplayed game that if they had won it they would have had an even .500 season, if they lost it they would have been 2 games under .500. So yes EVERY game matters. One game in 2011 could have been the difference between the Nationals having a losing record to having an even .500 NON-Losing record. Not a winning record, but not a losing record either.<br />CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374663649398420285.post-67800011971099466802013-09-30T07:35:42.765-05:002013-09-30T07:35:42.765-05:00Great point... totally agree. Good luck against t...Great point... totally agree. Good luck against the Rays tonight. The WC teams are hungry and are starting to heat up. Part of me is glad the A's have to face the Tigers instead of the WC winner. Then again... the Tigers are loaded with talent.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.com
