It wasn't quite as strong a finish as I'd hoped for, but a record of 86-76 is still one of the Toronto Blue Jays' best finishes since last appearing in the postseason (1993). They've hit the 88-74 mark once (1998), 87-75 once (2003) and now matched their 2006 mark a second time. In fact, over the past 3 seasons they've posted 86, 83 and 86 wins, making for a very nice 3-year run of winning more than they've lost.
In matters of a more immediate nature, the Brewers (in a game I'm watching right now) just went up 3-1 in the 8th inning, while the Mets just fell behind 4-2 (also in the 8th), meaning that Milwaukee will earn the Wildcard spot today if both scores hold up. I was sort of hoping for a 1-game playoff tomorrow afternoon between the two teams at the about-to-be-mothballed Shea Stadium, but the Mets will have to rally (or the Brewers choke) for that to happen now.
Meanwhile, both the White Sox and Twins are leading their games in the late innings, which would mean (if nothing changes) that Chicago will have to play their make-up match against the Tigers tomorrow afternoon, and then potentially a 1-game playoff against Minnesota on Tuesday! Now that would be exciting, if it played out that way!
