100 win teams bounced in the Division Series (updated for 2011)

Last year I wrote about the 100 win teams who couldn't make it to the LCS.

This year I never imagined that I would add to the list... but alas the Phillies need to be here. 100 wins is still a magical number for a regular season but evidently it sometimes has a burden with it as well.

The weight of 102 wins made Ryan Howard collapse in the batters box.

So here we are... updated for 2011.

Man, you'd think Cliff Lee and Raul Ibanez would have one by now!

Alas, baseball remains a sport where 3 loss can negate 102 wins. Think anyone will call the Phillies the greatest team in their franchise?

Ahhh cruel October.
