See? They're in...

Sure, the Yankees won in the 10th. And I watched in horror as Tampa Bay took the lead in the 7th. And I was nervous. But then it all came together the way it should - the way it will continue to come together.

Gagne did his job (and got the win), Captain and Jugo homered in the 9th, and Papelbon came in for the save.

And Detroit lost to Kansas City.

x-Clinched Playoff Spot;

The Red Sox are the first team in the league to secure a playoff spot. They are in. Period.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Eric Gagne, right, and catcher jason Varitek, second from left, gets high-fives from teammates Hideki Okajima, left, of Japan, and Josh Beckett, second from right, after the Red Sox defeated the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 8-1, during a baseball game Friday night Sept. 21, 2007, in St. Petersburg, Fla. Beckett won his 20th game of the season.

Now there's that Division Title - and I am confident we will take that, too. The pressure is off, they will play loose, and they will win most of their remaining games.
