Eliminated!

For the first time since 1993 and for the first time in Derek Jeter's career, the New York Yankees will not be experiencing post-season baseball. For us Yankee fans, it's an upsetting thing to think about, but for the rest of the world, well, let's just say they are probably throwing parties everywhere. With the Red Sox somehow beating Cliff Lee on Wednesday night 5-4, they eliminated the Yankees from the playoff race. Lee hadn't lost since the middle of June and with a 22-2 record going in, you would think he would get it done. Obviously that wasn't the case and with the way the season has been going for the Yankees, it was only natural that Lee lose the game. In his last three games, Lee has an ERA of 4.98, well above his season ERA of 2.54, but he had to lose sometime, and it happened to be against the Red Sox. Nonetheless, a disappointing 2008 season for the Yankees is over and it is time to move on, no matter how sad it is. All I will say is, LET'S GO CUBS! No really, I would love nothing more than to see the Cubs win the World Series after this 100 year drought. Hank "I will never shut my mouth" Steinbrenner promised big changes for 2009; we'll see.
