Speaking of droughts, the Mariners have made the Playoffs for the first time since 2001, thereby quenching what had been the longest active dry spell in Major League Baseball. After narrowly pulling out an historic victory and epic comeback, they now move on to the next round. The Phillies have also ended 11 years of hurt - sweeping the Cards and advancing to the NLDS. With the Mets and Padres tied with one game each, Sunday night's game will be a battle for the ages! If those omens don't fill Dusty Baker with hope, we don't know what will.
