Coming back

The biggest regular-season comebacks (after 130 games)-- to qualify for the post-season-- in baseball history:

2011 St. Louis Cardinals 10.5 games
2011 Tampa Bay Rays 9 games
1964 St. Louis Cardinals 8.5 games
1934 St. Louis Cardinals 8 games


ESPN's webpage for the MLB standings features a column in which each team's current chances for making the playoffs is measured. When I was in St. Louis on August 25th, the Cardinals' chances of making the playoffs was 0.8%. Here is what that page looks like today. Amazing. Bring on the Phillies!
