Listen up toots, you had a chance to control your destiny had you won the division. YOU could have been the team to roll over the White Sox and then face what was left of the Angels/Rays series.
So again, fly that Wild Card banner with pride. Your pitching is suspect, your hitting is getting old, and your management, well, you know all about that already.
And BTW--who gets to play the likes of the Yankees, Orioles, and Blue Jays just as many times? Who should have been fattening up on a weak division this year?
Fix your own house, darlin. We've got moves to make this off season. You'll likely stand pat with that fat payroll and fat players all getting old. We'll deal K-Rod out for more depth in the middle infield or a legit #4 or #5 starter since Garland and Rivera will likely be dealt as well. We'll lock up Lackey, Teixeira, and Vlad for the long haul, and keep developing superior farm talent. We can keep our payroll at $120M or less--can you say the same? Not freakin likely.
