Which AL East team will miss the playoffs?

Most likely the Wild Card will come out of the AL East, but obviously one of these 3 teams will miss out. Will trading Manny cost the Red Sox? Will the Yankees miss the playoffs for the 1st time since the new wild card format began? Will the young Rays falter down the stretch?

I'm a Yankees fan, but that patchwork pitching staff isn't going to get them far. It'll take a minor miracle for them to make it.
I mean, Sidney Ponson is their #2 pitcher... ouch.

Tampa and the Yanks are my hopes....

Tampa and the Sox.....though it pains me to say it.....may be more of a reality.

Tampa has a 3 1/2 game lead on the Red Sox, Not many teams have given up this big of a lead this late in the season.....

I'd actually guess that a good amount of teams have...3.5 games is really nothing with 2 months to go..

The Yankees will be missing the playoffs. Their rotation doesnèt match up with the Sox or (cannot believe Ièm saying this) the Rays.

Why the Hell are my apostrophes showing up as è...oh, and my question marks are apparently É

I also have no idea why my editing my first post led to this one being created separately...

According to this poll, heads will roll in New York. By a landslide.

As a Sox fan...I predict both the Sox and the Yankees miss the playoffs and the baseball world will rejoice and a kajillion people will yell huzzah and blah blah blah.

Re: Which AL East team will miss the playoffs?

Common wisdom holds on this one. The Yankees just don't have the pitching down the stretch.

Doubt it. No one could have foreseen all the freak injuries that happened.

They'd be stupid to let Cashman go.
