Missing the playoffs is still possible. It's not likely but it's still possible. I wouldn't bet my money on us missing, but it's still possible. I fully acknowledge that I'm saying it's still possible. That's not the same as saying we're missing the playoffs. For you to explicitly say that I said that is a lie.
I watched the 1987 collapse, you would have probably said it was an impossibility back then. Seven losses in a row, out of nowhere. Just like that, one terrible week of baseball is all it took.
Weird things can happen in the short term, extreme things can happen in the short term, the fewer the games left where we aren't in, the more possible it is that we miss. That's still not the same as saying we're missing the playoffs.
