Take A Knee
As nice as it would be to win the division, at this point it simply isn't worth it. Boston can go 3-2 and clinch things no matter what the Yankees do. Instead, the best idea is to get the one more win (hopefully tonight with Wang on the mound) and then go into spring training mode. (And I say this as someone who is going to Baltimore Friday night for the game)
It has been a long season and thanks to a 21-29 start, the Yankees have had to play the second-half of the season like every game is a playoff game. Giving Posada, Jeter, A-Rod, etc., time off to rest is a critical need at this point. Get one more win and then take the regular season off, it's the smart thing to do.
What do you guys think, is the push for the division worth it?

Don't jinx us. I still remember losing 4 in a row to Boston. How about we win the damned wild card first and worry about this stuff later?

I'm a bit more confident than Corey. I agree. Rest is important and I think the Clemens scratch was motivated by that. Mo, Viz, Joba and who else?

My vote is to rest as many as possible.

Yes, I can relax now. I'm proud of this team. They showed real character this year. Despite being a Grade B tactical mananger, Torre knows how to manage people and is the best manager in baseball.
The Yanks have got to rest their players. These guys are beat up and could use it. Plus the way my Twins are playing, there is no way the Red Sox can lose the Division.
