Pirates have walked the plank to the sea of elimination.  Nice that the Dodgers have so many games w/ them and the Nats (the first eliminated team).  The D-Backs have been de-backed and the Mets were finally put out of their misery. 

Since my last post, there are now 5 AL teams with no chance of post-season play: the Orioles and the Blue Jays have been shot down, the Royals dethroned, and the A's are getting their Z's. 


AL Teams eliminated: Orioles, Royals, Blue Jays, A's

NL Teams eliminated: Nats, Pirates, Diamondbacks, Mets

14 teams remain to be eliminated from post-season play.


The Giants' tragic number to finish with a worse record than the Dodgers is 11.

Dodgers' best possible record: 103-59
Dodgers' worst possible record: 86-76
