And yes, that sweet song you hear is the fat lady once again!
Just hoping you go to see the pre-game ceremony tonight. It's great to see the rivalry put aside, if only for a moment, to honor a class act. Here's to Rivera!
Go A's!!!!!

Ever notice that none of you cretin's teams have threads? Go ahead, live vicarious through the Yanks. After all, it's really all you have. Certainly not WS Trophies to ease your pain. LOL

Seems like such a shame that the 'Greatest Closer of all time" should go out like this. He also "owns" the post-season. We'll miss you, Mo!!!!
Kinda sobering that this will not be played at the stadium anymore.

Even if we sweep TB, the final series will make the determination. Hosuton could be the big spoiler. We can take nothing for granted at this time!
If the NYY win the 6 remaining games (3@Houston; 3@TB), then TB needs to lose at least 2 for a tie for the second WC slot - assuming Cleveland gest the first slot - they have 6 games remaining with 2 against White Sox (61 - 54) AND 4 against Twins (65 - 90) by far the easiest remaining schedule and they are currently 0.5 behinds TB right now. TB' s other 4 games are 1 Os (81 - 74) and 3 Blue Jays (71 - 84).
So if Yankess sweep twice (we can hope) and TB loses 2 of 4 between Os and Jays) we woudl be tied at 88 - 74. Would have to play a tie breaker game to get teh 2nd C slot. bad for our pitching, but that is another horror story right now. This also assumes that Texas with 7 games remaining goes 3 - 4 or worse (they play Houston for three and LA for 4.) Houston is awful but you have to watch out for the spoiler teams - we have to beat Hosuton. KC would have to win 6 of 7 remaining to join the tie between NYY and TB. they play 3 at Seattle (68 - 88) and 4 with White Sox (61 - 94). The O's have 7 games remaining, TB Rays, 2 with Blue Jays and 3 with Boston. Under this scenario they would need to in all 7 to join the tie!
Only thing I'd bet on right now is Cleveland will grab the 1st Wild Card. Second is up int he air. TB or KC or Tex or NYY - I think the O's although mathematically still in it have no shot!
And remember I said pitching - well if by miracle teh planets all align and the Yankees snag a WC slot, ho will pitch? CC is odne for the year! Kuroda, Pettitt, Nova I guess - please dont throw Phiul Hughes out there. Go with a rookie if need be!
So , how about them Giants...oh never mind right now! they're sharing their spotlight witht eh lowly RedSkins right now! :-(

Sadly, the "Fat Lady" has sung her song. Now shall come all the nay-sayer's from the woodwork in order to gloat. Have at it, you "little" folk. The "Mighty Yanks" have fallen!!! However, remember, when has your "team risen"? When will a single "Championship" adorn your clubhouse? Ours has "27 Titles"!!! Will you be the "Diamondbacks" with a single, sad trophy? Or will your team embark on a road toward total "greatness"? We shall see....
Good luck to all the Post season entrants, except "Boston" (may they rot in hell)!!!!!

Well said my friend.
Guess I'll root for Cleveland for a bit - I do like Nick Swisher!
Was Mo's final "mo"ment in at Yankee Stadium awesome or what!
A true Legend!

Yes, in typical "Yankee" fashion they gave "The Sandman" a absolutely wonderful send-off. Such a shame he had to go out on a season in which they did not make the playoff's. We will miss him greatly!!!
As for the rest of the MLB post-season? On to another dismal N.Y. football season!!! LOL LOL LOL

The only reason you don't, is you can't!!!!! The Red Sux past is chock full of misery and bitter disappointment. We love Aaron Boone and Bucky Dent in N.Y.!!! No Bruckner's here!! LOL
Edit: BTW isn't it a bit sad that instead of celebrating your teams entry into the playoff's, you are here trashing the Yanks? (sigh) Boston folk are so petty and small minded. Is it a shame or a curse?
