Phoenix, AZ--

The kitchen at the World's Largest Denny's^TM was working overtime after Thursday's game, slinging Grand Slam Breakfasts well into the early hours of Friday.

The Talons are going to the Playoffs!!!

After over a decade of frustration, including a particularly brutal stretch where the club was eliminated from post season contention in the final week of the season for 5 consecutive years, things have finally turned the corner for the franchise. The club will tussle with Calgary for the either 2nd or 3rd Wild Card Slot in the JL, before likely facing that same team in the first round of the BBA playoffs. So before we remind ourselves that the club has no farm system and many departing free agents, let's revel in the positives before the window closes. Such as:

The trade for old friends Chua-kah Yang and Norihisa Yokoyama has revitalized the offense. The signing of ace Amayas Moelling has stabilized the rotation and will give the club its first starting pitcher with more than 4 WAR since 2045. The signing of Don Smith to a minor league deal in May has netted a rotation stalwart with a 3.06 ERA in 20 starts. Role players have stepped up, with big seasons from 3B Murray Healey (2.8 WAR), backup catcher Jose Moran (1.2 WAR in 126 AB), and reliever Julio Cuevas (1.14 ERA since coming over in trade). Not to mention, the team looks to set attendance and revenue records this year as well.

So before it all comes crashing down, let's hear it for the Talons! Free Subaru Test Drives for everyone!!!!!!
