Don't know about the article, just the part you quoted, more the X-factor ... that part is just false. This team is fun no doubt and maybe I don't see it being 2,000 miles away but there is no magic around this team, there is no REFUSE TO LOSE! I have a small group of friends that text about the Ms every couple of days, but no feeling like that team in 95.
To be fair texting wasn't around in 95 so...

Anyway, if the X factor is the crowd and we get the 2nd or 3rd wild card it doesn't matter unless we win it since they'd all be on the road. Getting the 1st WC is so freaking crucial. I actually REALLY like the way MLB set up the wild card. Makes getting the 1st WC and all division winners so important.
I do think that both can be true: because of the drought it'd be maniacal and also that it may not best the 95 crowd. And that's okay.
The REAL x factor is our pitching bar none.
