Thank you Matt Garza, Rays...
There isn't much to be happy about for Yankee fans anytime there is a postseason without pinstripes. However, we can at least take a little bit of satisfaction in the fact that Boston was issued an early exit from the playoffs by Tampa last night.

In control of their own destiny
The Yankees now have nobody else to blame if they do not win a ring this year. After today's defeat of Boston, and Seattle's loss, the Yanks are now tied for the American League wild-card and are still not ready to concede the division to Boston. In other words, if they don't make the playoffs, they have nowhere to look but in the mirror, and if they get there, their chances are at least as good as anyone's. The Yanks will face the Mariners at the Stadium this weekend in a series which may very well send one of the two teams on a trajectory for a clinch of the wild-card. Roger Clemens, who has had an inconsistent year, provided the Yanks a solid outing in a key game. He took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and finished with six innings, two hits and one earned run. A-Rod got his 44th homer and Mo got his 22nd save. Tomorrow's game has Wang against Shilling. In his last start, Wang threw 8 innings, giving up 5 hits, 2 walks and 1 run and striking out 6. I am confident he can get his 16th win tomorrow. Boston has Schilling on the mound against Wang. Curt has had his share of success against the Yanks in his career. However, this year in three appearances against New York, Schilling has pitched 18 innings, giving up 15 runs including 6 home runs. It should be fun.

More aircraft trouble
With the plane crash and resulting death of Cory Lidle still fresh in everyone's minds, days later a plane carrying Alex Rodriguez and six other people overran the runway. Nobody was hurt.

On a separate note, the Tigers completed a four-game sweept of the Atheletics who have made a habit of making the playoffs on a tight budget and then exiting early. No doubt there will be people attempting to spin this and justify the Tigers manhandling of the Yanks, but don't believe the hype. The Tigers may be good. They may even win it all this year. But the Yanks beat themselves a week ago.
