Assuming Toronto can hold a 10 run lead against the team with the worst record in the AL with 3 innings to go, there will be 8 possible outcomes with 6 of them resulting in some kind of tie-breaker.

I guess it doesn't matter. The Padres are tanking to the Giants just like 1971. The Dodgers hate the Giants, but everyone else in the Division hates the Dodgers. |

Fear the Wainwright.
Doesn't seem right that a team with 100 wins is out if they lose one game, but such is baseball. |

Both wild card match ups should be fun. Just amazing that a 106 game winning team is in the wild card game. |
Unfortunately, no tie breakers needed.

For you easterners, it’s kinda like the Pats missing the playoffs with 11 wins, remember that? Shit happens in all sports, go Cards!!
106 wins & watching the playoffs next round from Beverly Hills Wain will be Right QUOTE=mrreality68;2150562][/QUOTE] Both wild card match ups should be fun. Just amazing that a 106 game winning team is in the wild card game.[/QUOTE] |

That is a really ironic quote. The Giants and Dodgers played a 162 game schedule and the Giants won more games. However, you have decided because of " theoretical" wins, those 162 games should be ignored and the Dodgers are the best team. Why even have a playoffs? Just give them the title because you said so. |

I like to sit in the bleachers at Fenway, get a sunburn eat pretzels and watch the game.

All the post mortems on the Yankees will talk about a lost season and what a mess it was. Yep, team 21 games over .500 and it was a complete
and utter train wreck and heads should roll. The depths of Yankee fan entitlement never ceases to amaze me all these years later. Some guy is putting his 27 rings leather jacket back in the closet for a long winter. Outraged that somehow one of more teams performed better than the Yankees. Not how it was pre-ordained. |
Quote:
I am not sure which Yankees fans are feeling entitled or which are bitching about the season. I hope you were not implying I. I was just saying to H Murphy that it was a good problem to have and enjoy it and my team will not be since his team beat mine. |

Just on Twitter this morning reading one hand wringing outraged post after another. |

my misunderstanding (especially since it came right after my post. Like any fan of a team that lost I am frustrated about last nights game. But 1. I respect and enjoy what they have done this season 2. Respect the fact that they got beat in the wild card game and wished their fans to enjoy their run (I cannot wish the Boston Team a good run since we consider them the arch enemy :D ) 3. Even choose the picture of the card for the game of ruth "NY Card" wearing the Boston uniform as a tie in) |
The Yankees and Red Sox are both very good teams. They played 20 times this year with an 11-9 split. That game could have gone either way.
Baseball is a strange sport in that over the course of a season, the best teams win 3 out of 5, and the worst teams win 2 out of 5. The unpredictability of any given game is part of its appeal I think. |
Yankees are GONE. Breaks my heart. NAAAAAAAAAAA
|
If you don't play well enough over the course of 162 games to avoid being caught up in a single game Wild Card game, you've got no one to blame but yourself.
Love the Yankees (as much as they aggravate me at times), but they but they fell short of what was required. |

Especially since our NY Football Teams seasons ended before it started and as a result we have a long fall and winter sports season. :( |

Martinez' injury is of concern. With a not so great staff, the best path to victory is to score a shitload of runs lol.

Yeah, I thought the Yanks did well to even make the "Wild Card" game. Half way through the season, they didn't look like a team that should even be a part of the playoff picture. Part of me wishes they would do a 3 game series for that spot, rather then a 1 and done. Makes things kind of anti-climatic, but it is, what it is. More for a team like the Dodgers this year, rather then the Yankees. I'm an odd sort of Yankee fan I guess, in that I'd probably root for the Red Sox, if they were to get to the World Series. I'd rather the AL East team that beat out the Yankees win, then the NL team I'm more unfamiliar with. Unless maybe the Brewers get in the series. Then I might have to root for them to get their 1st title. |
