Originally posted by dickyThe Wild card is the 4th playoff team which is awarded to the team with the best won-lost record in the league that did not win their division. Technically, the Yankees still have a very slim chance at the wild card, but time is very short and the odds are very long for them. Currently, Boston looks like the wild card unless they can overtake Tampa Bay, in which case Tampa would have the wild card lead.
A Yankees fan from the other side of the pond and saw my first game at Yankee Stadium last year.
How does the Wild Card system work and do the Yankees still have a chance?

Good Riddance!

Haven't seen the standings lately. Are the Yankees closing in on that wild card yet? No.1 guaranteed it so it must be so. 😉
You never know!!!

EDIT: I do hope the Jays make it in somehow. I just think the odds are stacked against them. I hope i'm wrong!
