That's funny....

[smootness]

Not when you don't deserve it and it's handed to you on a golden platter. Not going to be playing the Marlins and Mets in the postseason.
2-6 baby! 2-6!

So who deserves it?

So who deserves it?

This year's NL east? No one.

These over emotional posts from guys with a higher blood/alcohol level than IQ are comical. It's a little too early in the contention window to be complaining about how a previously terrible team reaches the postseason.

A postseason appearance for this team is a resounding success no reasonably unbiased observer could have possibly envisioned 5 months ago. Getting to play 3+ games on a national stage should be praised endlessly 1 year after winning only 67, 68, and 72 games the prior 3 seasons.

So log off your grandmother's laptop, run to the dollar store right around the corner, buy another 6 pack of Bud in camo cans, and continue feeding that blimp of a belly. She probably didn't mean to leave the computer unlocked anyways.

This year's NL east? No one.

So a team who wins 89-90 games doesn't deserve to make the playoffs, got it. It also means that maybe 1 NL team deserves to make the playoffs this year, at most.

What is the cutoff for deserving the playoffs? More than 90 wins? More than 95?

I'm sure the 2014 Giants, 2011 Cardinals, 2006 Cardinals, 2003 Marlins, and shoot, maybe even the 2010 Giants, 2008 Phillies, and 2001 DBacks, are all devastated that their WS titles don't really mean much since they didn't deserve to make the playoffs.

I don't live in the basement. I have a room in mamaw's house. I don't drink Bud. I drink natural lite.

I'll have you know that I have a very high IQ and rarely get drunk, but when I do I prefer rum or scotch. I don't hunt, does deep sea fishing count? It's also my laptop. Oh, and my belly is pretty flat, unlike my biceps!

When you can't beat a team with a winning record you don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Guess the A's, Indians, Rockies, and Dodgers also don't deserve to make the playoffs. None of them have winning records against teams better than .500.

You know the winning percentage of all Red Sox opponents this year combined? .312.

Here are the top records against teams better than .500 in MLB:

1. Red Sox - 36-27
2. Yankees - 32-25
3. Cardinals - 33-28
4. Cubs - 34-31
5. Astros - 36-34

You see what's happening? Nobody beats teams above .500 with great regularity.

LOL, did you really just subtract Boston's .688 winning percentage from 1.000 and claim that to be the winning percentage of their opponents?

Let's be nice and just call this entire strength of schedule analysis...flawed haha.

[bravesfanMatt]

Way too much math in this thread. Where are all the slutters instead. Stupid nerds and your dried up porn stashes ran them all back to the dollar store didn’t ya.

[jpx7]

Rough series.

[drewdat]

Other teams vs. Boston 31.86%
Braves vs. Boston 16.67%

Worst team in baseball by a comfortable 15%
