I hope you're speaking about the Yankees when you say the bolded.
8 walks, 6 hits, 4 runs, 1 for 9 w/ RISP? 14 inning loss to a team that's like 6 and 18 in September?
No, the Yankees don't deserve to win in the playoffs.
extra innings, go NYY. This team doesn't deserve to make the playoffs.

While the Red Sox have played horribly at both ends of the season, they did play amazingly well during the middle.
As much as I want the Rays in the playoffs, they haven't exactly grabbed the opportunity like they should have.
I don't think Yankees are playing are full strength right now or even trying to. However, I would think that a team with 97 wins (and 2nd best record in baseball) should be in the playoffs.
following ESPN.com and Beckett just got rocked in the 6th. I don't think the Yankees will try very hard these last couple days.Let's go Rays!!!

The Yankees had their minor league squad in most of that game... you do realize that right? The sure sign the NYY had enough is when they brought in Scott Proctor
So for how long do you think every national news outlet will be clamoring about the BoSox epic meltdown, while simultaneously overlooking how well the Rays have played when it really counted?

I still can't get over the Yanks finishing with the second best record in baseball despite not seriously upgrading their rotation Yankee style ($$$$) during the course of the year. Big stones on their management, which would have been (rightfully) roasted if not doing so had cost them a shot at the post season.
I also can hardy believe it's Boston that might not even make the post season, despite spending lebenty billion on Crawford and Gonazalez.
And finally, think back to somewhere early in the second half of this year, and how you would have reacted if someone had told you that two of the hottest, best looking teams in baseball right now would be the Brewers and the Tigers. D:
The Show. Those 162 game schedules will find you and humble you.
I don't follow baseball but shouldn't those two get along better than the owner and Ozzie?The wacko that is Ozzie Guillen is out as ChiSox manager and is reportedly close to signing a deal to become the new manager of the soon to be Miami Marlins. I'm sure Ozzie and Hanley will get along great.
Rays aren't quite killing it but they're .650 from Sept. 3rd.Pretty long, cause the Rays haven't exactly been playing all that well in September either. Boston is playing .300 ball right now. If the Rays were playing .600 ball in September, they'd have passed Boston last week.
A .560 winning percentage isn't that great. Well, not in the AL East, anyway.
I just hope the freaking Rangers lose.
Meh, I would have done the same thing and assumed they were going to as soon as they lost last night. Especially Weaver, who has gone often on 3-days rest in the second half. The good news, I suppose, is that is locks up the triple crown for JV.WTF!!!! The A's aren't pitching Santana or Weaver. Why? They're not hurting. You saving their arms for next year?

Holy crap, did anyone see that popup foul ball hit that kid RIGHT in the face during the Phils/Braves game? Perk?
Here's a video
