Yankees Defeat Red Sox, Orioles, Obama, Romney

With the New York Yankees playing for a better positioned playoff spot than the one they've already clinched, millions of Americans decided to watch that instead of the Presidential debate. A few of them even bragged about it on Twitter:

Debate or watch the Yankees clinch? Hmmmm. Baseball it is. #Baseball4Lif3

There will be a debate in my house tonight. Topic? Do we watch the "other debate" or do we watch the Yankees. #MyWifeHasMLBfever #fb

Seems Romney is killing it! Can't wait til the Yankees clinch so I can watch the debate!

I really wish I cared about the debate as much as y'all but I'd much rather watch the Yankees beat the Red Sox at this time lol

Why would someone watch the Presidential Debate when the Yankees could be forced into a tie with Orioles for first place tonight?
