As happy as I am that they made it in, it was very silly to see them out on the field celebrating and holding up the #1 signal. Number 1? Maybe they forgot that they didn't win the division.
And that's essentially why I don't really like the wild card in the first place (no pun intended). It used to be that in order to make the post-season, you actually had to win something; either your league or your division. Even tho it has been good for the Sox (who have been the AL wild card team three times since its inception in '95), the wild card has removed the one thing that had differentiated it from the post-seasons of the other major sports -- the necessity of winning your division to advance.
Just my own opinion, of course.
