Will the Yankees and Red Sox both miss the playoffs???

Question

White Sox and Twins are cruising right now

the twins are 1 behind red sox for WLC

Answer 1

I think the Red Sox will be pretty close I'm a Twins fan so will see.

Answer 2

JUST THE OVER-RATED YANKEES.. BUT BOSTON STILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE IN MAKING IT TO THE PLAYOFFS...  

Answer 3

twins are going to take the central so its going to be down to both of the sox teams to take a wild card spot. Liriano is cruising since he has been back and hes not going to be stopping any time soon

Answer 4

As much as I wish I could say yes, I'm pretty sure the Red Sox will get in, either by coming back and winning their division or by holding on to the wild card spot.

Answer 5

Maybe.

What of it? Every team is subject to success cycles.

Of course, the media will never rant about the big-market Twins buying themselves yet another postseason berth (to go along with 2006, 2004, 2003, and 2002).

Seriously. Counting from 2001-07 (so, 56 playoff teams), here's which franchises have how many October appearances:

Yankees -- 7

Braves -- 5

Cardinals -- 5

TWINS -- 4

Angels -- 4

Athletics -- 4

Red Sox -- 4

Astros -- 3

Diamondbacks -- 3

Cubs -- 2

Dodgers -- 2

Giants -- 2

Indians -- 2

Padres -- 2

Mariners -- 1

Marlins -- 1

Mets -- 1

Phillies -- 1

Rockies -- 1

Tigers -- 1

White Sox -- 1

Let's review berths from the AL Central, 2001-07:

Indians -- 2

Tigers -- 1 (1 wildcard)

Twins -- 4

Royals -- zero

White Sox -- 1

So, which team is REALLY hogging all the ALC action?

Answer 6

I hope if my Yanks arent gonna miss the playoffs then the Sux will miss them too.  

Answer 7

We can only hope that those 2 east coast teams get to spend their October on the east coast.

Answer 8

Yankees are in bad shape, red sox have a way better chance if they stay healthy.

Answer 9

Yes I think the Red Sox will make the playoffs. Idk about the Yankees though and how are the white sox and twins crushing them?

Answer 10

Looks like the Yankees will miss the playoffs. The Red Sox still have a shot at either the division or the WC. I don't think the Rays can keep winning the rest of the year. I think the Sox take the AL East and the Rays take the WC.  

Answer 11

I think Yankees are not going to but the Red Sox have a chance to win the wild card

Answer 12

Do I look like I have a crystal ball?
