But here was your question:<BR/><BR/>"does that pretty much seal the deal for the yanks?"<BR/><BR/>I agree with redsock. You know this. Their repeated failures this century can all be called "chokes" considering that they usually have an all-star at every position and always have the highest payroll. But to answer your question, let's just pretend for a second that '04 never happened (if you're having trouble pretending, ask any Yankee fan to help!). And that the Yanks have won a few championships lately, including last year. Even with all that, I'd look at it how it is: The Yanks are 2 up in the loss column for the wild card, with 23 games left. Deal not sealed.<BR/><BR/>Of course I know what you're saying, that you get this feeling sometimes of "here we go again," regarding the fact that it's seemed a lot of times like they're going to miss the playoffs, but they've gotten in every year since '95. But if they make it, and play us--we kick their butts. No ghosts or curses. Just a measly squirrel. Like Wizard said to Travis Bickle, "Don't worry so much!" <BR/><BR/>Crappy ending tonight, but now we go down to our summer home for three with the O's. No problem.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-21233901490361633892007-09-05T20:28:00.000-07:002007-09-05T20:28:00.000-07:00and so to bed.and so to bed.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-71361191107491645472007-09-05T20:08:00.000-07:002007-09-05T20:08:00.000-07:00Little bit of a tough one to swallow tonight, but ...Little bit of a tough one to swallow tonight, but they can handle it with the large lead they have.

When the Sox are in town, Toronto is Fenway North. And so much more pleasant than seeing them in Yankee Stadium as we used to do.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-50321808029243429692007-09-05T19:43:00.000-07:002007-09-05T19:43:00.000-07:00esp. after the weekend trip to Fenway for the MFY ...<I>esp. after the weekend trip to Fenway for the MFY series before the series in T.O.</I><BR/><BR/>Oh great!<BR/><BR/>Yep, we already have tickets, going to all three games.
