What would happen if the ny yankees missed the play-offs?

Question

Would the world come to an end? would the mountains crumble to the sea? would great uncle georgie have a hissy fit? will the yankee fans here become red sox fans? OMG! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!

Answer 1

Let's see...

Planets, moons would continue peacefully in their established orbits.

Concurrently, the sun would maintain its billions-year old pattern of rising and setting on a daily basis.

The market would fluctuate.

The weather would be sunny, unless a butterfly flaps its wings just right, in which case it will be rainy.

In the Middle East, the peace talks would be inconclusive.

A whole lotta "business as usual" really.

Oh, executives at Fox would be committing suicide, either (for preference) professionally or personally, but this wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Answer 2

Just think of those TV ratings in October if the Fish and the Rays play for the Florida State Championship of baseball.  Like it or not there are only a hand full of teams that ARE major league baseball and the Yankees just happen to be one of them.

And yes, the sun will continue to warm our planet.

Answer 8

It wouldn't be a big deal. The teams that deserve to be in the playoffs would make it and play an exciting post-season, just like every year. There would be yet another fun and exciting World Series and whichever team wins it all will have earned it.

The bottom line -- baseball, and life, will go on. :-)

Answer 9

Why are you saying if. You mean when they miss it. Yankee fans will start crying and probably stop cheering for them.

Answer 12

LOL at the tigers fan who's season has been over since April. Now tiger fans have nothing better to do than worry about the yankees.

BTW weren't the tigers the pre season favorites to win the WS this year?  Alot of people said yanks wouldn't make it the the playoffs BEFORE this season.  Everyone loved the tigers though.  

One more thing there were thousands of the yankees wont make the playoffs threads last year!

Answer 13

You mean when the yankees miss the playoffs.  PoP yer bottlze! Go Tampa Bay RAYS!!!

Answer 20

Well, it's all a normal thing. No the world won't end. The mountains will not crumble. Stop trying to create some baby fairy-tale, and George has passed the roots to Hank, who has already waved the white flag.

Madonna would dump A-Rod because she would no longer get free publicity from FOX SPORTS showing her while he goes 0-4 in another embarassing opening round loss.
