(I think my earlier reply should have read "it doesn't hurt", rather than "it does hurt"... damn typos and such..)
The one saving grace with Oakland still playing as well as they have is that it's kept Texas honest.. they're still playing meaningful games and can't risk having the A's leapfrog ahead of them for the division lead. Considering the remaining games that Oakland and NY have I think I'm pulling for the A's to thump the yankees and then lose enough games to the Rangers that we're atleast assured of the higher WC seed.
I'd love to see the Blue Jays and Red Sox play spoiler for the Yankees, but I'm not gonna count on it. I'm just gonna hope that we get enough wins on those two teams and that when the yankees face them directly after us that they're ticked off enough to show some backbone and pride and want to beat up on someone.
