Despite a solid performance by Mike Mussina (5 innings, 4 hits, 6 strikeouts) and a Jason Giambi home run, the Yanks 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays was not enough to get the Yanks into the playoffs.
Boston beat Cleveland 5-4 last night, wrapping up the Wild Card for the American League. This is the first time since 1995 that the Bombers will not be playing October baseball.
This season also marks the first time in Derek Jeter's career that he will no be participating in the playoffs.
