This playoff system ruined any kind of true divisional playoff races like we once had years ago. It's the nature of the Wild Card, and any comparison to any season before 1994 is ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Sox management will be held accountable for this season if they don't win the World Series, regardless if they win the AL East or not.<BR/><BR/>If any team has "collapsed" it's the Detroit Tigers, a team that was leading the Central at the All-Star Break and seemed to be assured of going to the playoffs, and now will be heading into a long, cold winter. The postseason is looming for both the Red Sox and Yankees. When September 30th is done, it will be a whole new season for both clubs, no matter which team wins the East.BklynSoxFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512844600688808055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-30221731071708887222007-09-20T17:47:00.000-04:002007-09-20T17:47:00.000-04:00"You and the nation have been fretting a Red Sox A...<I>"You and the nation have been fretting a Red Sox AL East collapase for a month or so and now you're justifying it while it seems to be looming...come on, play it on the level, say that it's inexcusable that the Red Sox are threating the biggest divisional lead collapse in history, that it would be highly unfortunate and dissapointing if it happened ---and then, afterwords, coment that ultimately the playoffs are the thing."</I><BR/><BR/>Translation: "Please panic and feed my need for schadenfreude.
