For the 16th time in 17 season the New York Yankees Baseball team will be headed to the post-season. The Yankees secured the AL East Title with a 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays last night in Yankee Stadium. I must say this, the post-season is that much better when the Yankees are involved. Having the possibility of the Yankees and Red Sox playing in the post-season makes things that much more interesting. Without them, I think October loses its luster:
The Atlanta Hawks made a valiant effort to overcome a 20 point lead by the Miami Heat in the 4th quarter. Unfortunately for the Hawks, LeBron James (34 points) and the Heat had the No. 2 seed in their sights. They would not let the lead slip away as they defeated the Hawks 98-90. The Heat clinched the No. 2 spot putting Boston at No.3 and the Hawks will remain in the 5 spot:
Edson Buddle of the Galaxy booted a 40 yard goal1 in the 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders.
The Rangers are headed to the World Series for the first time in franchise history. Colby Lewis threw 8 innings for the Rangers, giving up 3 hits and 1 run in the 6-1 victory:
