Somehow we've managed to weather the storm and we're back in possession of the second wildcard spot. Extremely tough way to finish the year now though with back to back series against the Yankees and Rays. The Yankees will be trying to play spoiler against us. The Rays are the Rays, and will be the ultimate litmus test for potential playoff series'. This is going to be 2 very stressful weeks.

Also fuck the MLB schedule makers for this bullshit way to end the season. Meanwhile the Yankees play the Diamondbacks and the Royals, and the Rays play the Angels and the Red Sox (with an extra day off we don't have) in between their series with us. I'm sure at some point in the season, we had similarly light schedules while they were playing tough opponents, but it still seems like a harsh way to end the season for us.
