Major League Baseball introduced a second wild card spot four years ago with the hope a one-game series between the top two losers in each league would create a buzz.
For the first time Tuesday night the Yankees participated in an idea that came out of the marketing department and cheapened the industry.
If MLB has a say in future one-game series don’t be surprised if it makes sure the Yankees aren’t involved.
Swinging wet newspapers the Men Without Bats were dominated for the third time this year by Astros lefty Dallas Keuchel on the way to 3-0 loss that ended their season in front of a sold-out and season-high Yankee Stadium crowd of 50,113 that was willing to get involved but never given a reason.
