Lets go :NYM: I believe this is New York's first playoff appearance in FGM history

[kylerap]

First playoffs for Seattle Mariners?  The history page always lists them 3rd/4th and were a cellar dweller when I took over 2 years ago.

I believe its the first for the

:NYM: and :SEA: for sure.

Has :MIN: or :CHC: made the playoffs?

Has :MIN: or :CHC: made the playoffs?

:CHC: got knocked out of in the wildcard playoff last year as well. Two years in a row! It was much closer this year though. With a few adjustments for 2015 the Cubbies are looking for a step forward in 2015.

Has :MIN: or :CHC: made the playoffs?

:MIN: made the playoffs in 2009 (The first season) as the AL Central Champs.

I raised this in the chat, but I don't know how this makes any sense.

Aug 22 it was posted that the playoffs start Aug 25.  Then instantly on the 25th Seattle is eliminated with a better record than Tampa Bay?  Having the rules read that the play in game is based on the final regular season weeks points makes absolutely no sense. 
IF that's going to take place, those teams should be made aware and should play each other that week.

I know it's on me for not reading the fine print of the rules, but I cruised through that week assuming I was in the playoffs since I couldn't be caught for a wild card spot.
