As much as I hate the Yankees, I must say that they have clinched a playoff spot by beating the Angels last night 6-5. The Yanks have done a good job this year what with the new pitchers in AJ Burnett and CC Sabathia and also new hitter Mark Teixeira. "Impressive." I'll admit my tune would be different if this was the Red Sox (who have a solid lead in the AL Wild Card). Meanwhile the rest of the races seem to be in the bag except for the AL Central.
The Rockies in the meantime extend their lead in the NL Wild Card by 5 games. I have given up on the Giants personally. They have lost there edge these last couple of months and it has cost them a playoff spot. Even though I see some improvement in the hitting department, it was not enough for this season. The Giants have found a great player in Pablo Sandoval but he is not great enough to lead this team in October by himself.
P.S. The quotation marks are for sarcasm. MLB needs a salary cap.
