CLEVELAND -- Of the many reasons the Indians won an AL wild-card spot with a stunning September surge, manager Terry Francona joked that it had nothing to do with his final days in Boston."We stayed away from chicken and beer," he cracked. "That helped."

Casey Stengel always found a place on the field for as many bats as possible, so he woulda played Raburn too.

I've probably seen almost every Swisher playoff at-bat. He doesn't seem to be the poised/patient hitter he is during the regular season.

Prior to tonight, Swisher had 181 postseason PAs with 46 Ks, 24 BBs. That's no good.

yeah i know it's different for MLB but i sort of like it because these teams didn't win their division.

oh well. congrats to the rays and their fans. i'm still happy with our season anyway. love tito, love chris antonetti, hope we can get a power hitter or two in the offseason, but whatever happens i'm sure the attendance will be better next year. the future looks bright!

having one wild card seems more fair to me -- and often enough that team would have won a different division -- but yeah, win your division + everyone television loves sudden death
