For some of the folks that don't understand, this is how it worked.

The Yankees have controlled their destiny for the last week.

Here's the bottom line:  The Yankees want to play the Twins for the ALDS
because they're beatable.

Here's how they did it:  by winning when TB did, and losing when TB did
because TB owned the tie.

This RS/Yankees series meant nothing other than to force TB to face Texas..

Which is exactly what the Yankees wanted.

So, as you RS fans sit happily with a series win, you've been used one more
time for a greater purpose.

Thank you!

I totally agree. TB plays TX and one of the better teams goes home.
MN is the easiest of the three to beat.
