So since the Marines are in second, does that mean they have at least made the playoffs?

Yes, the top 3 teams make the playoff, with team 2 hosting team 3 in a best of 3 match-up, with the winner going on to face Nippon Ham in a 5-game series.

It's Brian Sweeney, and he's a starting pitcher. He pitched for the Mariners out of the bullpen and the for the Padres in their bullpen. When he wasn't offered a contract with the Padres (3.25 ERA) he was recruited by the Fighters to be a starter and decided to try it. He has been pretty good considering the Japanese strike zone and the shoulder problems he had in the beginning of the season.

Yes, I know that, and I would guess most of the regulars here do as well. I even saw Sweeney pitch back in the US several times before I saw him pitch with the Fighters here in Japan.
I was just pointing out that Japan Ball had made a big mistake in their article. Sorry if I didn't make the joke clear enough.
