In any good competition, there have to be some losers. A wild race for the 12 MLB postseason slots means a handful of teams hit the wall after Game 162 and had to admit defeat.
Not all defeats are created equal, though. There are surprise teams that are happy to be involved at all. There are aging teams making one last run.
