Oh yes Lady's and Gent's this is a glorious day. The Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians last night, extending a Rays-Sox lead in the AL East. What this means is yes, say it with me people, THE YANKEES WILL MISS THE PLAYOFFS!
Say it slowly, the New York Yankees... who have the highest payroll, the dumbest fans and the worst hometown announcing crew in the league, will miss the 2008 Major League Baseball Postseason for the first time since 1993. That was when crappy players like Kevin Maas and Steve Sax were on the Yankees. Oh don't forget about the 1980's when they had really crappy players and young players they would unload in the 1990's.
The last game at Yankee Stadium was in September which is bittersweet. It's sad because it is the most important park in baseball history. However and for those who were on Deadspin last week, it was home to the biggest bunch of idiot fans who honestly thought the sun only rose each day for a Yankees win. In a related note, the sun didn't rise for the Yankees during the 2004 Playoffs through the present day.
At Sal's 401K, again, located in Rochester, NY, we argued all year long that teams such as Tampa Bay could not exist as the perennial cellar dwellar (save that now for Baltimore). That team is good and showed it when key players went down.
Also, they had to realize that as much as most people hate Red Sox fans, they are right that the Red Sox are wicked hard! These guys play to win. The Yankees are really a bunch of hired fielders with huge salaries and do not deliver in the clutch and play around a miserable pitching staff complete with wash ups, has beens and never will be's. Also they have a few good players here and there.
Let it be told that we might actually see Yankee fans realize that New York is not home to the best baseball. Los Angeles is making a strong case now along with Boston and Tampa. Oh let's not forget Chicago.
Sal Says: Nomar Garciaparra is still a member of the Red Sox in his eyes. Of course that does mean missing 30 games and swinging on every first pitch.
