They will have a 1 game playoff if there is a tie. I think they flip a coin to see who hosts the playoff game, not sure on that, but definitely a playoff. Go Red Sox! Yankees be damned!

The Yankees are 94-65 and have the second best record in the AL. The Astros are 87-72 and have the third best record in the NL. So the Yankees pay their players more money. But, they also win more games. And the Astros have "pretty much have gotten the wildcard bid." They could still be knocked out of the playoffs, they're only 2 games up. Probably not going to happen, but whatever. So the Yanks could possibly get knocked out of the playoffs or they could win their division.

Lucky, I think, is a better choice of words but, anyhow. I remember, the Philadelphia A's, had a first-baseman named Vic Powers. The guy was good! I remember when the 'REAL' Dodgers were in Brooklyn! The Washington Senators before they were the Texas Rangers and honest to god, man. I remember the Milwaukee Braves, before they moved to Atlanta! Yeah, I'm old but, what memories! Oh yeah, and the Ramsbefore they moved to L.A. then back to St. Louis! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BillyVance 34 #18 September 30, 2005 Quote Yes, I am!

Chuck I'm only old enough to remember the starting line-up for the Braves in the early 80's when they made the playoffs a couple years: 1st base: Chris Chambliss 2nd base: Glen Hubbard 3rd base: Bob Horner Shortstop: Rafael Ramirez Catcher: Bruce Benedict Left Field: Claudell Washington (or was he Right Field?) Center Field: Dale Murphy Right Field: (see Claudell, I just don't remember the other regular starter) Pitcher: Phil Niekro and Pascual Perez are the only ones I remember off-hand. I didn't really follow baseball any earlier than that, there were no TV captioning then!

Used to love to listen to Harry Carey announce the Cubs. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SpeedyGonzales 0 #20 September 30, 2005 QuoteQuoteIf the Sox/Yankees tie there'll be a 1 game playoff in NY on monday - the site of the game was determined by a coin flip about a month ago A month ago?? Are they nuts? I think that division has been tight enough that any of the top 3 or 4 teams could have been duking it out in the last week. What if neither the Sox nor Yankees made it? Well sure, flip the coin again, the fans will come and fill the stadium even with a last minute decision... That division has been a Yankees/Sox division for a while now. The third team in the division is the Blue Jays who are currently 16 games back from the Yankees. # 4 (Baltimore) is back 23. When the coin toss took place Oakland was in as well. And if Yankees and Cleveland play a tie-breaker it would be played in Cleveland. And I'm going to go against the majority of this thread and say that I am a proud Yankees fan.

(live in Houston doh!) I have hated the Yankees as far back as I can remember. So them having a chance of not even making the playoffs brings joy to my heart. The one thing I find extremely humours about this whole MLB situations is. Astros have a $55mil payroll and have pretty much gotten the Wildcard bid in the NL. The Yankees have a $250mil payroll and could be knocked out of the playoffs all together. $50m > $250m "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

The Yankees are 94-65 and have the second best record in the AL. The Astros are 87-72 and have the third best record in the NL. So the Yankees pay their players more money. But, they also win more games. And the Astros have "pretty much have gotten the wildcard bid." They could still be knocked out of the playoffs, they're only 2 games up. Probably not going to happen, but whatever. So the Yanks could possibly get knocked out of the playoffs or they could win their division. Which is more than you can say for the Astros, who are 10 games back from the lead in the NL Central. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites IFallFast 0 #24 September 30, 2005 I have just one thing to say to all people who hate the Yankees. You are Communists!!! and let me explain why. Most times when I ask why they hate the yankees, I get answers like "because they pay their players so much" or because "they always win", occasionally both. Well I am thinking that if you spend the most money, and you win games, giving you more fans so you can earn more money so you can buy better players so you can win more games...etc. you see the pattern. To me that sounds like the shining star of capitalism. so if you hate the yankees, you are a communist. Also the yankees not only represent what is great capitalism, but also what is great about america. You can find people all over the world who hate americans because we have the most money, and we always win (look at the olympics). they are anti-american, and if you too feel this way, you are anti american. So in conclusion I say, root for the Yanks or leave the country.
