2009 -- Beat Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2 in the World Series
2008 -- no post season
2007 -- Lost to Cleveland Indians, 3-1 in the divisional series

2005 -- Lost to Los Angeles Angels, 3-2 in the divisional series
2004 -- Lost to Boston Red Sox, 4-3 in the ALCS

So that's a record of 1-8-1 so far this century.
