Took them long enough. Sox imploded a while ago. Don't pat yourselves on the back too hard.
Yanks Playoffs Doomed? You decide...
"Unhappy family? Yankees give A-Rod tough love" http://x.go.com/cgi/x.pl?goto=http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2595523&name=FPT-2595523-092013&srvc=sz
That's a recent title of an ESPN.com article. Pitching matchups aside (which are not in Yanks favor either), chemistry is a huge part of winning. Just ask the 2004 version of the Sox. With a team supposedly cruising to the playoffs, having guys take shots at each other in the clubhouse is a bad sign. Even Torre has had to speak with A-Rod.
So lets see, A-Rod has the fans, teammates, and the manager against him. You might as well hit him 9th now. Thats going to be ugly.
So enjoy going to the playoffs while it lasts, it doesn't look good. Must be hard rooting for a team fighting within itself. Don't really wish that on anyone.
The only question now is who will take A-Rod off your hands in the offseason & how much is Georgie going to pony up to get it done?

From your March 30th post....
"The bottom line is that the wildcard is not likely to come out of the AL East. Cleveland will give the White Sox all they can handle, and the A's and Angels will have a dog fight as well. The weaker division is the West, so we're predicting the wildcard emerging from there.
Will the Yanks AL East reign end? We think so. And with the Sox apparent youth movement, it may be a while before the Yanks win it again..."
At least we were right about the wildcard not coming out of the east...
Who knew Detroit would be better than last years Cleveland?
..it wasn't a bad forcast!
They were in first place at the All-Star break. They were in first place, though not by much, at the July 31 trade deadline.
All the earmarks were there for a fourth consecutive October of meaningful games for the Red Sox, and then, it all fell apart....
....it really looks bad!
