I'm just hoping that somehow the Yankees end up out of the playoffs
No, really I'm kind of sick of the Red Sox at this point too... it was a good story last season, I was all for them ending the "curse" but after a full year of hearing about how great they are, I could do without them as well.
I just enjoy all the drama leading up to the playoffs this year, as DDDDave says, you gotta love October baseball.
