[27] But will you join me in hoping it goes down to the wire, preferably with a one-game playoff?

I do not hope the Twins win the division. Nor do I hope that the Tigers do.

[20] All that to say that the player acquisitions were nice, but it was just as good to have Jeter, Cano and Melky bounce back, as well as having Posada around for a full season.

Those off-season moves (CC, A.J., Teix and . . . Swisher!) pay off:

FWIW

OPS+
08: 101
09: 120

ERA+
08: 104
09: 104

RS/G
08: 4.87
09: 5.68

RA/G

[18] i’m not going to that far, becuase i feel superstitous about hoping for a particular team again, but the yanks should really be able to handle the twins and really detroit too – my hope is even if det wins they won’t be lined up with verlander

[17] Personally I was hoping it would go 18 innings, not just 10 . . . but I’ll take it.

I really, really, REALLY hope the Twins win the division, because 5 of the 9 regular hitters in their lineup are out-making machines. Plus watching the Yanks beat Carl Pavano in a playoff game would be satisfying on so many levels.

Cashman is the Yankees MVP this season.

Wow - Chad Jennings (of the SWB Yanks blog and Times-Tribune) is going to take PeteAbe's place! Very unexpected, but excellent news!

[10] just checking the score periodically (1-0, bottom of the 3rd)

[11] no – even though i must admit i don’t totally buy into jackson, i think joba/washburn is more in the yankees favor than aj/jackson (assuming they pitch to what i am setting at about their median level/capability)
but my concern with the shorter series with the tigers is about verlander, not jackson
