Playoffs!
There was picture in the paper the other day of Michael Douglas playing Gordon Gecko on the set of the sequel to "Wall Street". As I watched the Yankees game last night I thought of a quote from that movie. Not "Greed is good" but this:
"Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss."
The Yankees kept out of the abyss last night. They blew a 5-0 lead in hideous fashion and if they had not won, that was the type of loss that would have lingered for awhile. Instead they rallied and moved closer to wrapping up the AL East.
And this morning you can see an "x" next to the Yankees in the standings. Good to see that again.
Comments
twice I posted from work on this today but maybe neither made it through although I got the message that the hosts had to approve...
anyway, what I tried to say is:
slow down there Peter...What the Yanks accomplished last night was getting their playoff ticket stamped, not the division. I know, I know, you have felt that the division was yours since spring training...well, a few more games and maybe it will be, then and only then, can you claim the "X", enjoy your "Z" for now...

We didn't get your comments before now.
But, I certainly haven't felt the division was "ours" since spring training. The "X" is from MLB not me, take a look

I think it might be because they are currently the only team to have clinched something. Maybe they change the "X" to a "Z" when someone else clinches?
