Lots of time and resources will be soon wasted on reasons and excuses for our playoff push collapse.  I have taken the liberty to compile a few.

Courtesy of Joliet Jake:

Our tux didn't come back from the cleaners.

We ran out of gas.

We didn't have cab fare.

Someone stole our cars.

Old friends came in from out of town.

We had flat tires.

There was an earthquake.

There was a terrible flood.

Locusts.

It wasn't our fault, we swear to God!
