This should not come as a shock. Once the Red Sox take over the lead in the AL East, the Yankees will lose out to Anaheim or Texas for the wild card. This will be the first of many years the Yankees stay home in October!

1. 3 1/2 games, baby!
and we're 2.5 ahead in the Wild Card.

Let's see if the Red Sox will find away to blow it before they inevitably fuck up in the playoffs.

3. Tomorrow is September 1st--NOT a good sign!
They always slide in September. However, since I've put a curse on the Yankees, things must balance out this time!

5. Best thing the Sox did all season was jettison that useless
shortstop and choke artist. He can go stink up the Cubs dugout now.

Go Sox!

4. Uh, no.
The Yankees are having hard times, but they're a sight better still than Anaheim or Texas. You can make all the dramatic statements you want, but they're still one of the top teams in the American league.

24. I've hated them even longer! I grew up in CT, so the neighborhood
loyalties were split between the Red Sox and the Yankees--nobody liked the Mets. Anyway, my childhood was spent arguing over the merits of my team, and why the Yankees are Satan's team.

31. Very well could be,
But the Cards are kicking all your AL asses in the World Series:evilgrin:

That said, I take great great pleasure in knowing that the Yankees got their asses kicked 22-0, greates margin since the 19th century. So much for Steinbrenner purchasing great talent.
