    • “This Is Our Post-season”

    Posted by on September 11th, 2005 · Comments (5)

    A quote from Joe Torre after the game today:

    “This is our postseason. For us to get there and get to that second season, these games are enormously important.”

    Big words on the eve of a Devil-Rays series.

    This is nothing new today, actually, Torre said it yesterday as well:

    “This is our playoffs,” manager Joe Torre said after the Red Sox and Curt Schilling stuffed the Bombers, 9-2, setting the Yankees four games back in the AL East race, with their deficit in the wild-card race at 1 1/2 games after the Indians beat the Twins last night. “We need to fight our way to the postseason.”

    Twenty games to go. So, to me, the Yankees magic number is five. Once they lose 5 more games, it’s probably the end for them.

      14-6 will do it for the wildcard. Cleveland will cool off. FWIW, the Red Sox are going to cool a little as well. They will NOT have the division clinched going into the final series of the season.

      We played very well for a stretch and then cooled a little. We just need to find our rhythm here for the final 20. This is still very doable, guys.

      My brother predicts that the division will end in a tie, a la 1978. I’m not so sure, but man, that would be a helluva tie breaker game.
