At this point, I agree with Yankees general partner Steve Swindal, who said, back on September 10: "I'll be satisfied if the team makes the playoffs."
One game out with four to play is small potatoes compared to last year's ALCS, so my faith remains firm.

My prediction: Sox and Indians win, White Sox and Yankees lose, and it's two out of three for the Division. The Sox will win the first two, making the third game a tune-up. You read it here first.
Sign me up for some of that.
Ah, Jack, why not be completely optimistic? The Red Sox take the next three to win the division (Yankees lose tonight) and win the fourth to eliminate the Yankees from the Wild Card. I'll take any postseason berth I can get, though, man. I'm scared of seeing the Yankees in the postseason again, but any postseason is better than none.
Well, the White Sox just clinched, so it's WC or nothing for Cleveland. Unfortunately, that means Chicago will be more concerned with resting their starters and setting their playoff rotation, and might roll over for Cleveland... not good news.
Good Lord, it's true.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'll be shocked if that occurs, Andrew. Ozzie won't stand for it, and the ChiSox would love to not have to deal with the Indians just like the Sox would like to say bye to the Yankees. Devine: If the Yankees lose three in a row, that WILL eliminate them from the wild card.
In 1967, the Sox were 1 game down with two left against the Twins to end the season, and two bona fide Sox killers, Dean Chance and Jim Kaat, pitching against them. The Sox won both, as we know...I was in Fenway for the first game, and the Baseball Gods smote the Twins but good. Same thing this year.
RedSock: the Stanton move isn't a bad idea. At least Theo's still trying. Stanton has been better than Embree, and he was on the team the last time they won the division. I'm all for it. (That Rich Gale crack was unwarranted...but funny!)
yeah, he could be useful in the right spot, but my first reaction was panic!
Now what did I say? DON'T PANIC!!!
I am very, very ,very happy that the Sox got Stanton. , If Francona has to go to Stanton, its over. I will be the first to say Embree stinks, but Stanton is just as bad. If either gets into the game it, the team hitting wins. A Yankee fan
