Yankees, A's,Indians, Angels, Cardinals, Rockies quickly come to mind.

too samll a sample set

look at crown's numbers , it's obvious MLB wants the red sox in the playoffs .....the curse , red sox nation, etc , etc .....how do you explain that they are + 116 over the last 5 yrs playing the same teams with the same players each year....watch the game and look at the differences in strike zones that the umps give to their pitchers vs the road pitchers in fenway , it's almost comical

And you claim the calls constantly go against the Yankees, costing them games, and an appearance in last year's postseason, the year before an early exit to the Inidians in round 1.

Now why would the MLB possibility not want the Yankees in the playoffs?

I would think the most popular team in all of sports, whether you love them or hate them, would be great for ratings?

Whats your answer on this?

Oooooooooooooooooh, in that case............

[gales0678]

tell me why it's not the case look at boston's home record

i know someone who watches all the red sox games , it's getting laughable (the strike zone) now , even bobby cox went off about it

they don't get the same treatment on the road ----that's why they win 20 more games a year at home , it's that simple folks
