Exactly. The Sox got beat by the Jays (a team they should have done very well against), and the Yanks played well enough to keep up and eventually tie us for the division lead, and winning the division through the tie breaker. Because of that, the Sox made an early exit out of the playoffs after getting swept. SWEPT.
EDIT: Still though, even if they split that series, the Yanks were playing better than the Red Sox. Case closed. The Sox didn't play well enough to win the division, they dropped down to the wild card team, and they were swept out of the playoffs.
