The Phillies are on a win streak, and the Yankees have momentum coming off taking a dramatic 2 of 3 from the Red Sox at Fenway. Now, both teams are still several games behind their respective division leaders, and time is running out on them, BUT...
There's also the matter of the Wild Card, see, and both these two reprehensible ball clubs are still very much alive for that spot. In fact, the Yankees have the AL spot well in hand right now.
I had written off Philadelphia and New York, my most two hated teams in Major League Baseball, several months ago and proceeded to relax and enjoy the season without fear of their vile presence infiltrating the postseason. Now it appears there is a solid chance BOTH squads could sully the playoffs. This is just too cruel a prospect after that tranquility I enjoyed earlier this summer.
Let's hope the Phillies do their standard choke job and fall all the way out of the race, while the Yankees at least settle for a Wild Card and maybe have to face a red-hot team in the first round. The thought of the Phillies and Yankees dominating the playoffs--or even appearing in them--makes me want to switch gears to football.
