AL Wild Card Scenarios

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

Good Problem to Have and Great Stadium to enjoy it in

Sadly my team will be sunning on the beaches in Florida

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.

Hi

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.

No Jeff. Honestly didn’t see your message.
Just on Twitter this morning reading one hand wringing outraged post after another.

Thanks for the clarification Steve.
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 )
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.

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.
