believe in the hatch dammit!!!!!!

wondering why im supposed to be afraid of a stupid seal...that thing gives all cute seals a bad name

from SI.com this is unbelievably sad and pathetic: The NL Worst AP At one point, it was funny, perhaps even cute. Now it's just horrifying. You all know what I'm talking about: the NL West "race." Despite being below .500, the Padres (64-66 through Monday's games) have a healthy 4 1/2-game lead over the second-place Dodgers and D'backs. For weeks now, San Diego has been resetting the record for latest date in a season for a losing team to be in first place. Among the various number-cruching pieces that have sprouted up on this topic recently, this tidbit from the Elias Sports Bureau (as reported by the Rocky Mountain News' Tracy Ringolsby) is the most salient: The worst out-of-division winning percentage was .412 by the 2002 AL Central. The NL West is at .418. So it's not the worst division ever, but it's close, and it could be the first to give us a sub-.500 playoff team. That's a problem. Aside from the 1994 Rangers, who led the AL West at 52-62 when the strike hit, the closest baseball has come to such a debacle was in 1973, when the Mets won the NL East with an 82-79 record. That is still the mark for fewest wins by a division champ -- at least for now. The 1997 Astros and '84 Royals each won 84 games, and the '87 Twins went 85-77. Among those four teams, the Mets (NL champs) and Twins (world champs) won playoff series; the Astros and Royals were swept. Among the other Big Three sports, non-winning teams make the playoffs every so often, but it's never happened after a full season of baseball, a sport that prides itself in being different. That's the whole point of the 162-game schedule, to make sure only deserving ballclubs are left at the end. The NL West is threatening to blow that whole premise apart. How can a division be deserving of sending a team to the playoffs when it allowed the Kansas City Royals to go 7-5 against it in interleague play? (Overall, the mighty AL Central went 44-25 against the NL West in interleague action.) The scariest part of isn't even that a losing team might make the playoffs. It's that a losing team might win in the playoffs. If the Padres take so much as a series, let alone a pennant or a World Series, then all of the statheads who have called the current playoff format a crapshoot will have been proven correct. MLB will have to at least consider a new rule that would disqualify a losing division champion from postseason play and allow the top four records to advance. Hopefully, it won't come to that. The Padres will have every chance to reach the .500 mark and surpass it in September/October, when they play 23 of their remaining 30 games within their own division. Can we at least count on this meek division to save itself? -- Jacob Luft (1:45 p.m.)
