The O's gave it a shot, and pushed the Yanks to game 162. But it's over, as they lose to Tampa. So it turns out even a Sox win in NY tonight wouldn't have mattered. The Yanks win the division and will play the O's-Rangers play-in game winner, while the A's and Tigers will meet in the other ALDS. It stinks that Yankee fans get another division, but remember, they always have multiple contingency plans in case of a loss where they'd act like they somehow won. Because that's what extremely insecure neanderthals do. (And it's no coincidence those people end up Yankee fans.)

Actually it was very nice of the Yankee fans to break out the Who's Your Daddy? chant tonight, just to give us warm reminders of the time they used that chant in the 2004 ALCS and then promptly saw our team clearly become their daddy by whooping their fuckin' asses in four straight, completing the worst collapse in baseball history, the likes of which had never been seen before and haven't seen since. It's always awesome to be reminded of that chapter of their and our teams' histories. So thanks for that, guys. We needed that on a night like this.
