Good and Bad: Yankees out, Red Sox in

C1d261765f5f3224f9d8aa3047b43d74-getty-80322833eg039_cleveland_ind_medium

Sean Casey, key member of the 2008 Boston Red Sox, celebrates heartily (pictured).

To be fair, Casey is super clutch (.432 career postseason hitter)!

With the playoff clinching of the Red Sox, though, comes the joyful and official elimination of the New York Yankees (note: nothin' doin' at Pinstripe Alley as of this writing).

You take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and there you have the facts of life.

It will be somewhat refreshing to see the first postseason since 1993 that does not feature the New York Yankees and their crummy stadium's mystique and aura. (Told ya my niceness about Yankee Stadium couldn't last long.)

I can't hate any team because they're good, though. That's just a loser's mentality, I think. I hate the Yankees because they're the Yankees, and I hate the Red Sox because they're like the sophomore Yankees. But hey! Good job, Red Sox. Way to win games. More than we can say.

Somewhere over the rainbow, y'all.

That dude was right though

The Twins and Jays are clearly superior teams. And that starting pitching, woof. Collapse is coming any day now! I can feel it!

Seems the Red Sox prefer to back into the playoffs

Good team, absolutely. But in the past they’d be sitting home come October. The great teams actually win the division more than once every 13 years (or thereabouts).

Congrats on winning your bet.

Wait...

If the Sox getting in is a good thing, then what’s the bad part? The Yankees being out?!?!?! (/sarcasm)

Yeah, I know. Y’all were waiting for an idiot Sox fan to come on and say that. Have at me.

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

I couldn’t really care less. Oh no the Red Sox put a good team on the field.

If unlucky...

Almost everyone else in the playoffs is way ahead of their Pythagorean records, yet the Sox are behind theirs…

As Craig Kilborn said..
