A real Red Sox fan would think the loss by Cleveland could help the Yankees make the playoffs.
Shame! Shame!

I sort of thought of the whole night as simply leveling the playing field. Going into the games last night, the Yankees and Indians seemed to have all the advantages. The Sox had to win two of three to manage even a tie for the division and had to win one game more than the Indians to win the wildcard. Neither of those things is true anymore.

The Sox only have to win one more to ensure a tie (two more to clinch) for the division and they only have to keep pace with the Indians now.

Plus we've got Wakefield tonight, and he's been our best starter for weeks now. And tomorrow, Schill will be Schill and Mussina will be Mussina.

And of course I believe they won it last year!! The DVD I watched last night told me they did!
