NY? they had a coin toss a few week ago? they shuold of just had the coin toss after this series. how gay is that!

and also, I believe they shuold have the tiebreaker game in switzerland.

I am pullin for the Indians to win these next two so bad!

The red Sox better be thankin they dont face matsui every at bat

and the yanks better be thankin that they dont face Ortiz every at bat.

Matsui is the man!!!

hell yeah nooka! MATSUI is the man!

Yanks should just buy Ichiro and make it a Japanese takeover.

The way Cleveland is imploding, it really doesn't matter what the results will be in this series.

Ichiro will fit nicely in a Yankee uniform.

My good friend, who I always watched the games with just moved to NYC last month. She called me from some bar last night that was all Sox fans and they had quarter beers for the game. She was like "this is almost as good as the Ave, but it's not Boston!"

Mo will not be going pitching today. Gordon might be pitching, but odds are Mo is not going to close the game.

Well, it turned out Mo was in there. Not a bad idea, you want your best pitcher going with the game on the line.

I will admit I underestimated my boys this year; another Division title, now time to win another World Series title.

ok so they won the divison? so i guess them winning the season series 10-8 (possibly 10-9) did come to play. What the hell was this whole thought about these two teams playing a one game playoff then? It never would have came down to that.

All the yankees had to do was just win 1 game during this series.

Or, if the Red Sox swept this series then they would have won the division outright.. There is no way both teams would have split the season series. So what the hell was this whole talk about a 1 game playoff! I'm not talking about you Smartblonde. Perhaps what happened with the Mariners/Angels 10 years ago was that the two teams split the season series. I'm talking about all those dumbass baseball commentators takling about all these scenarios. The truth is, none of those scenerios ever would have happened.

Not quite true, the first option could of happened...:

Yeah, no since messing around even with a four run lead in the 9th.

As a white sox fan, I'm kind of torn between wanting to see the angels or red sox in the first round. The angels have the pitching and Boston doesn't yet the red sox line up scares me.

I think it's funny your boys are giving the Indians such a run with the second-stringers going. It's like you're sticking it to them for giving you a scare to end the season.

Thanks for trying to explain it Docet but it still seemed a little weird to me.

Check it.

Yanks and Red Sox come into this series with the Yanks up 1 game & with the Yanks leading the season series 9-7. Yanks lose 1st game.

Red Sox and Yanks are all tied up however with the Yanks leading the season series 9-8 now.

Yanks win game 2. Yanks go up 1 game again, and now they clinch the season series 10-8. Even if they lose the last game and they still win the season series even though both teams have identical records.

But, according to THIS...if the Yanks and Red Sox split the last two games then there would be a one game playoff to determine the winner of the division. Ok but why are the Yankees declared the winner of the division already? Obviously they won the clinched the division based on the head to head games.

And Also, even if the Yanks, Red Sox and Indians all finished with identical records, there never would have been a need for a tie breaker between the Yanks and the Red Sox to determine the division. Why? Because well, the Yanks won based on head to head games. So the only one game playoff that would be needed would have to be between the Indians and Red Sox. BUT, why wouldn't they just go on head to head games between the Red Sox and Indians?

Thanks to the Indians loss, the Sox clinched the Wild Card. Now on to the anxiety attacks of the ALDS.

sick of boston and ny.

i hope anaheim or chisox come through.

Do you guys think Torre has assured himself a sport in the Hall of Fame?
