Pepper Leach

2007 IL West Division Champs.

Eliminated in the first round.

John_Wagner

Simple enough, right?

OK, a little trickier: How many other IL teams have NOT made the playoffs since 2007?

In other words, how many IL teams have gone without a playoff appearance as long (or longer) than the four years the Hens have been absent?

Pepper Leach

Three - Charlotte, Buffalo and Indianapolis

John_Wagner

Those three are correct, Pepper -- although I'd say both Charlotte and Indianapolis are about to break those streaks.

But there are others ... can you name them?

Pepper Leach

Rochester, Syracuse and Norfolk

John_Wagner

You got it, Pepper. Here's a look at teams with a longer playoff drought than the Mud Hens ...

Indianapolis -- last playoff berth in 2006 (one-game playoff v. Mud Hens)
Charlotte -- 2006
Rochester -- 2006
Norfolk -- 2005
Buffalo -- 2005
Syracuse -- 1998

Curious to note that the top four teams on that list ALL lost their last playoff series to ... that's right, the Hens.
