GDT: gNats @ Braves 09/19

I hope the team doesn't celebrate just clinching a playoff spot. It is fine to recognize it to the fans.. shake hands with each other and wave to the fans.. but this team has higher goals and jumping up and down for a wildcard birth is silly to me.

For a team that hasn't made the playoffs in awhile, I understand. I expect the Mariners to do the same once they clinch a spot. But the defending WS champs and 4X division champs? Nah. Celebrate the division if that happens but that's it.

I might not have phrased that correctly. I don't care that the mutts threw a beer party in the club house.. heck hopefully the fools are hung over today. More just saying that this team doesn't need to. been there done that.. act like it. so basically what you said.

A division title vs a playoff berth?

There was no playoff berth without winning a division title in those days so the huge celebration was similar to just making the playoffs, yes.

Fewer teams involved in the postseason, sure, but getting in didn't guarantee you much more back then.

An NLCS trip isn't much more?
