Salinas may have tried to tell itself that its playoff losing streak was not a big deal.
But it was.

No doubt, it's better to be in the playoffs than not at all.
But at some point, you start to wonder.
Trailing by two through five innings Wednesday had some fans bellowing 'here we go again'.
Well guess what? Salinas is still practicing. The playoff hex is over. If there was tension, it has been eased.
