Based on this, and the last few weeks, I'm guessing that the residents of Red Sox Nation are desperately awaiting the end of this season, so that they can get on to next one. Since the 5 game sweep in August, it's been all downhill for the Sox - they may not even end up in second place in the AL East at this rate.

Meanwhile, the biggest worry for the Yankees is Mariano Rivera - will he be 100 percent for the playoffs? I'm looking forward to the post season - the Yankees may not win it all (anything can happen in a short series) - but they look like the team to beat right now. It's conceivable that we could have a 2000 recap - another subway series. Now that would be cool.
