So Yankees, as always busy around deadline day and were quite successful. Abreu and Lidle for a bunch of minor league prospects of which only Smith looks half decent. Don't know too much about Lidle to be honest but Abreu will give another strong bat and some experienced coverage for Sheffield while he's out injured (and more than likely replace him for next season) Also picked up Craig Wilson for Chacon to give us another strong bat. Had him in my MVP Baseball 2005 team as well actually. Might mean Andy Phillips doesn't get as much time as he should though which is a shame.

Red Sox and Jays did nothing and we kept hold of Cano, Melky and Phillips so a good trade deadline time all around for the Yanks

No more extra games now. The Yankees have to win 2 more than the Red Sox to pinch the division seeing as a Detroit defeat pretty much ends their hopes of the Wild Card.

Yup just 2 games to win now to be sure of the wild card and that's if Detroit wins all their remaining games. Hopefully Cleveland can keep on their streak too and get a better record than Anaheim so we won't have to play the Angels in the first round.

The Yankees edge closer again. They are almost certain of the Wild Card now too.

The Indians win their division and the Angels are pretty certain to win their one so the postseason is starting to take shape.

What a crazy game, think it lasted 6 hours or something. Melky coming through in the clutch though twice, on both the defensive and offensive ends. Farnsworthless NEEDS to get traded in post-season

another 75 cents earned in poker, 189th out of 11,924.

Yankees giving me another heart attack at the moment

Yea it's a shame after doing all that hard work to get level we couldn't finish it off, we had plenty of chances to before Bruney of course screwed it up as always

A disappointing loss in the end for the Yankees. They did all the hard work by getting 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th.

Only 1.5 games back now, we only need to tie them and we'll take the division again. 10 games left to get it done

Toronto swept the Red Sox. For some reason, the Red Sox have lost all their batting. They are in a slump at the moment, especially with Papelbon and Gagne blowing 2 games.

Yea i'm just hoping Cleveland get the better record so we miss out on the Angels.

Makes you wonder just how far ahead the Yanks would be had we not had our pitching staff obliterated for the first half of the season, we'd be pushing 100 wins easily
