Tonight ESPN.com ran a poll regarding the New York Yankees chance of making the playoffs, now polls on websites are standard things, multiple choices, end result, tried and tested method, but ESPN take the end results to a new-ish level.
Well, this is the normal way of dealing with poll answers, and boy, not a lot of people like the evil empire Yankees… But wouldn’t it be nice to see where these Yankee lovers come from?
Oh yes, a nice state by state breakdown shows all the Yankee love comes from New Jersey (surprise), New York (surprise, surprise) and… Wyoming?!?! What the hell Wyoming, what you doing purple?
Just shows that a LOT of people hate the Yankees and Wyoming is slightly confused…
Personally I hope the Yankees don’t make the playoffs, they are a game and a half behind a Cleveland Indians team who has worked their asses off to get in the Wild Card race, and also to get to within 2 and a half of the once seemingly unstoppable Chicago White Sox…
Not only that, but the Wild Card race in the National League is white hot too with the Philadelphia Phillies and Florida Marlins 1 and 2 games behind the Houston Astros, I’d much prefer Philly or Florida to take the Wild Card as it would mean the Braves would face (currently) the San Diego Padres, or infact anyone who “wins” the NL West, officially the worst division in baseball… And that’s as good as a bye in the playoffs.
There I go, jinx in place, prepare for me to eat my words come October…
