On the TSN broadcast yesterday, J.P. Ricciardi said (or Pat Tabler said to JP; can't remember) that the Jays had the most wins of anyone in the last two years without making the playoffs. And wouldn't you know it, he's right.
191 NYY (2 times made the playoffs)
183 DET (1)
183 LAA (1)
182 BOS (1)
175 MIN (1)
174 CLE (1)
170 TOR (0)
169 OAK (1)
166 SEA (0)
162 CHW (0)
...some losers
Don't know if that's impressive or who-cares-if-they-can-win-games-in-September-with-nothing-on-the-line. May is when they sucked last year, after all.
One of those guys also said something like "one of 9 teams with back-to-back winning seasons." There were five AL teams who did it (you know who they are, and who they aren't) as well as the Mets, Phillies, Dodgers, and Padres. Amusingly, every NL Central team above .500 in 2006 was below .500 in 2007.
