Out of the playoffs

I've read the Sports Guy's articles since he was picked up by ESPN.com and greatly enjoyed them. Recently, he updated his "Levels of Losing" in honor of the Mets' collapse and falling out of the postseason.

Too bad they didn't wait until Monday night's game was resolved to finish the article. Don't you think that the career saves leading blowing two critical games in a three-day span to drop his team out of the playoffs
(hell, not to mention that the first blown save occurred on a triple given up to the son of Mr. Padre, and the second blown save came in a game where a. the starters were Peavy vs. Fogg and should never have come down to being decided by a shaky Hoffman in the first place, and b. the hit by Holliday handed him the batting crown and likely the MVP award, despite being a product of Coors) deserves to be categorized? Gaaaaack.

Here's the final cumulative games over .500 by division. Can all 17 Padres fans take solace in knowing that their division was really tough this year? Given that Norv Turner is coaching the Chargers... no.
