2005 Padres, 82-80 (.506)
the didnt make it to the playoffs because they didnt win their division and they didnt have the best record
When 2 teams have a record not quite good enough to make it into the playoffs, they must face each other in a wildcard game. The winner makes it into the playoffs, and the losers season is over.
There is no rule for how many wins are needed to be in the playoffs. The more wins the better but, the team only needs to be a division leader and therefore automatically given a playoff spot.
The New York Giants, a football team, didn't make the playoffs last year (2009). They ended the season with a 8-8 record. The baseball New York Giants, who moved to San Francisco in 1957, did not make the playoffs in 2009 -- they came in third, behind the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers.
2005 Padres, 82-80 (.506)
The 1973 Mets won their division despite a record of only 82-79. The beat the favored Reds in the NL playoffs, and then nearly won the World Series, which went seven games, against the Oakland A's.
You have to make the playoffs. In the seasons you have to have a good win record.
the didnt make it to the playoffs because they didnt win their division and they didnt have the best record
No, they did not. The Steelers finished the 2009 season with a 9-7 record and missed the playoffs.
Better conference record
The Mets did not make the playoffs in the 2004 season. The Atlanta Braves made the playoffs from the National League East Division and the Houston Astros made the playoffs as the wild card.
(3-13) in division would be the worst record a team can have and still possibly make the playoffs. As of January 3, 2011, the 2010 Seattle Seahawks are in the 2010 NFL playoffs with a 7-9 record.Not only is this the worst record to make the playoffs, it is the worst record to win a division as well. Although, it is possible to have every team in a division go 3-13. 0 wins, 10 losses, and 6 ties (0-10-6) or 3 wins and 13 losses (3-13). In the first instance, every team in the same division would have to tie each of its 3 division opponents twice, and lose all 13 non-division games. All 4 teams in the division would then have the same record (0-10-6), and a tie-breaker would determine the division champ. In the 2nd instance, every team in the same division would have to split 1-1 with each of its 3 division opponents and lose all 13 non-division games. All 4 teams in the division would then have the same record (3-13), and a tie-breaker would determine the division champ.
no, of course not
you put the best player with the worst player, the second best with the second worst and so on.
82-80 by the 2005 San Diego Padres who won the NL West Division. They lost in the NLDS to the St. Louis Cardinals 3 games to 0.
Seriously the Mets blew the 2009 season and they end up with the record 70-92 they didn't even make the playoffs
