  1. The team needs to have urgency now to get above .500 and stay there. I haven't looked at the stats but I suspect to make the playoffs a team needs to be 25-30 games above .500 at the end of the season. (I'd be interested to know the average needed the past few years.) You've got 162 games to get there. The team has used 18 of them and is still 2 games below .500 after that first series sweep at home. Every day the team is at or below .500 is that much less time they have to get where they need to be. Need to win now and not think you can make it up later.
  2. I became a fan in '79. We moved to SoCal a few years earlier and I was big into playing baseball at the time. A friends Dad took us to the Big A to see a game that year and I was hooked. I got to see Ryan and Tanana pitch in different games, along with Baylor, Downing and the rest. We got to enjoy the playoffs that year, and I wasn't too disappointed when we lost to the Royals. It was much harder in '82 when we were so close to the Series before losing to Milwaukee. Don't get me started on the disappointment of '86. However, it all made 2002 that much sweeter!
