1986 is of particular note, since it proves they won't win even if they deserve to and it appears inevitable.

I guess you're completely forgetting the Boston Celtics unmatched and unPRECEDENTED 16 NBA championships.

And don't forget the Bruin's 5 stanley cups

I didn't forget them, I just didn't mention them because the patriots were more recent.

And the Yanks win the third game 3-1.... and keep their lead.

Lets just see who ends up going furthest (assuming Boston gets the wildcard spot).

Patriots still didn't set a precedent...they just (hopefully) jumpstarted a rebirth

Though with a dismal 31-0 loss to the Bills (THE BILLS!), and the Sox not staying consistant, we'll see if that lasts...

Cubs - Sox World Series

If that ever happens, they should make it like the Special Olympics and give both teams the gold.

I wish the Red Sox the best of luck. Any foe of the Yankees is a friend.

Well, at least they salvaged the last game. That was key, as was seeing David Wells pitch like his back is ok. Big relief there.

So what, they got the win.. It's worth mortgaging the future for a World Series that no one thought you'd win in the slightest (Hell, I'd be suprised if 10% of pundits picked them for the playoffs before the year). No one is gonna care that they won't make the playoffs this year, they'll just remember the 2002 World Series Champions Anaheim Angels .

Yup, they can bask in acient glories one day, much like Braves fans can think of wonderful '95, or Chicago fans of '06 and '19, and Boston fans of '18.

Us poor Yankee fans can;t even remember the Yanks of '02 (didn;t happen), only of '96,'98,'99,'00, oh, and the 24 other times before that.

And for thanks, looks like Georgey Porgey is going to can Torre at the end of the season. It's too bad that the current run happened because it makes it harder to believe that Steinbrenner is a total idiot.


... Naw, I take that back. He's a total idiot - especially if he fires Torre.

The current run happened because George stayed out of the way (relative to the 80s) and let Cashman run things. When George wants a championship, he tends to do irrational things. The more badly he wants it, the more irrational he gets. (And of course, saying George can get "irrational" is like saying the Pacific can get "damp" or Dan Duquette is "inept." )

On another note, Baseball Prospectus updated their "Postseason Odds" calculations. Red Sox at 82.3%, Yanks at 91.7%.

Edit: fixed link -- the current (9/8/08) odds for the Braves are 100% chance of winning the division, FWIW

I'm going to throw this up, hope the formatting stays logical:

NL East W L W3% SOS ROY% W' Div WC Total Key W
Atlanta 77 42 .583 .497 .586 102.2 99.4% 0.5% 99.9% 91

Of course that, and a buck, will buy me a cup of coffee.

King George is a serious PitA, and most of the time I just hope he keeps his trap shut and leaves his "baseball people" alone to do their jobs. Every so often, however, I do reflect on the differences between him and say... Carl Polhad (Twins). I'll take the irrational, foolish, pompous ass who is willing to invest in his product over the quiet billionare who isn't.
