All-Time Postseason Streaks?
First of all, why is there THIS MUCH CRAP in the Talk section? Breaking down consecutive-wins seasons down to the difference between 80, 81, and 82 or more wins is a) hardly notable to anyone other than the most statistics-obsessed baseball nut, and b) irrelevant to the actual topic - namely, Postseason Appearance Streaks!

Second, how come there's no section for all-time postseason streaks? The Atlanta Braves' 14-season streak (all division championships) and the New York Yankees' 12-season streak under Joe Torre are certainly notable, especially given that it was harder to maintain postseason streaks prior to divisional play. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.29.144.224 (talk) 00:24, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
