They blew a two games to none lead in that series. By the way, neither the Mariners nor the Blue Jays have made it into post season play. The only other franchise that I can think of that has never made it to post-season play is Texas. Montreal has never won a pennant but did appear in the NLCS in 1981 (year of the strike). They lost to the Dodgers in that series. -- /\ /\ / \/^\ /\ /\/\/\ /^\ /\ /^/\^\ /\ Al Gates\^/ \/\ / \/ \/\/ \/\ / ^ \/ \^^^\ BDM Corporation \/\ /^\ / {seismo,rlgvax}!bdmrrr!gates \ /\ \ 7915 Jones Branch Drive\/ \ \ / \ / \ \ McLean, Virginia 22102 \ \ \/ \/ \ \ \ \ \^^\ (My opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the BDM Corporation) \
