Now TB in for a 4-gamer with Your Js only 2 games in the behinds of them, with 2 games in hand.  A split minimum, winning 3 of 4 the goal.  Not ideal to have Tepesch going in game 1 of the series, but them's the breaks.

For months Your Js have been within striking range vs all these also-rans, the WC right there, and pffft.

They are not worthy of making the playoffs, but then again, neither are all those other pretenders.  Somebody's gotta make it, even if none of them are good enough.
