Blue Jays Red Sox BaseballThe entire crew over here at Major League Jerk would like to offer our sincerest congratulations to the Boston Red Sox on backing into the playoffs last night after the Rangers lost to Anaheim.  Now you can focus all your momentum to once again beating the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Orange County in the playoffs.

Sure you lost last night when all you had to do was beat the Blue Jays to secure your spot in the playoffs but allowing another team to do it for you is just as good for team morale and it also avoids the risk of getting hit in the eye from a champagne bottle during the Wild Card victory celebration.  Yes, I think this subdued excitement where the celebration is kept behind closed doors is not only a strength builder, it’s also a character builder that creates a sense of duty stronger than any division title could ever do.

I’m just so damned…proud of you all.
