Pitchers have bad days. The Twins are a decent team. So, sweeping them would have been hard. OTOH, darn if the Padres beat the Dodgers. Blackburn basically will have to give us something. The Angels should be the type of game he can do the job. Anyway, the Fan Graphs odds shows the tough competition even with three spots. It would be disappointing if they don't make it after our hopes have been raised. Essential games will be against wild card opponents.
They're plaing all meaningful games the rest of the way, lets hope.
