great

Boone thinks he should rest because of it. Judge didn't ask to sit, says hes fine, and they DID NOT send him for tests...so we all know this will be either amputation or reconstructive should surgery tomorrow...

and clinch this division already? Christ.

I just want to wrap this division up and then wrap every important guy in fucking bubble wrap.

I'm sure they're just being mega-cautious with Judge. But.. cmon already. The baseball gods really need to give us a break already with this shit.

Completely agree.

Judge out. Yep, that's how this season goes.

German is out on admin leave. Must have something to do with Monty being back up.

What a season.

Knowing our luck, have him go for testing

Just going to try and keep a positive mindset and hope Boone is right in saying that he thinks 99 is fine.

We did have Gleyber very scarily go down when his foot got caught in the Rogers Centre turf and he wound up being completely fine. And it does sound like we are going to get Edwin back - he's been doing drills and says he absolutely expects to return for the Postseason.

We're owed a little good juju... but then again, after the German news, I'm not sure we'll get any in 2019. The baseball gods seem very angry @ NYY.

But, we keep finding ways anyway...

We're going to wake up one morning to find that the entire team is lost in the Andes mountains

Too scary to even jest about.

but fuck yeah, DJ!!!!

I do not like it that, if they get there (and I know it's early yet to worry about this), they need to do more than tie the Astros in the W-L column.

of watching the Angels rob our guys in the filed. Voit crushed that one and Hermaphrodite robbed him.

and the grass in the stadium is still green.

3-1

Great catch.

Grandpa!!!

Gets the run right back.

4-1

4-1

26 homers. He just had to get to this age before his power surge was turned on.

Gardy's the best. Scrappy, fast and tough old-time ballplayer. Never gives up on a play.

continues to be robbed by the Angels. Unreal how hard he is hitting the ball.

Again!

Voit has to be wondering how the heck he can buy a hit tonight... that's some shit luck. The guy is scorching the ball. And it's finding its way right into gloves.

Masa is rolling. Looks excellent tonight.

earlier he slapped a single through the left side...then last time up pulled a line drive that was a hit bc they weren’t shifting against him with a guy in short RF. Not many hitters left who force the defense to play straight away

He is playing for keeps and he should be. He has his big paycheck right in front of him.

Killing them.

Grandpa does it again. :)

Be silly to do it, too.

Kay really needs to hire someone to write his material. It's autopilot shit.

Yanks brought their A game tonight

Cameronnnnnn Maybin!

7-1

Been waiting on him for a while. So has he, no doubt.

.

Clint joins the party!

9-1

Nice. For everybody.

That fuckin bat speed is amazing.

.

man he has quick hands. He needs to be in the discussion for next year. Him and Miggy have defensive issues that we can cure by stealing Ron Washington.

.

hitting 102 on the gun.

Juices flowing on the bench.

103

Or is Kay trying like, waaaay too hard right now?

.

Someone should be punched in the nuts.

AL East Champions :)

That's step 1.

The real work starts soon... but boy, it's been some fucking ride this regular season and this first mission has been accomplished.

LFG.

Yankees!

If German’s gone long term, bring up Garcia. Maybe he could be like K-rod in 2002.

but Meredith M. is really good at her job. Standing there firing off quality questions off the cuff while getting doused in champagne.

I'm sure her looks were a big part of why she was hired but she knows her stuff.

a very solid game all around.

In order:

1 - get Judge back ASAP
2 - secure best record in the AL
3 - get German back before the playoffs
4 - get Encarnacion back before the playoffs

Something tells me we're not going to see German again this year...

Also, can't forget El Gary.

that Meredith has taken an often dumb job, had to follow Kim Jones and slowly has became a professional.

For comparison I think she asks much better questions and gets more respect than Suzyn who has been at it awhile.

Also treated with decent respect by Paulie and Cone which takes being a consistent worker who knows her job.

+1

Meredith's also a good follow in Instagram...posts neat pics of different cities they visit, snippets of good moments with player interviews, and very little of the 'look at me' vanity common to so many public figures these days.

I don't care for her and I still miss Kim.

Division winners going away. Remember that in April we did not see this coming, especially with all the injuries.

More work to be done but this is a very nice accomplishment. If Boonie isn’t MOY someone has some ‘splaining to do.

I agree she is not Kim as a reporter. imo, Kim is a very good reporter. Her work with Mike Francessa also impressed me. This is a person with online real time intelligence.

Meredith has improved and become credible in a job that's often a joke filled by a gushing personality instead of a person trying to inform viewers

barrage of injuries all season long. “Next man up” all year long and they never missed a beat. Truly as amazing a regular season as I can ever remember.

Not sure the pitching is good enough to take us all the way, but what a ride it’s been to this point! Awesome.

Astros clearly have the easier schedule, 7 against the angels two against Seattle.

I think if the Yanks don't sweep Toronto @ home, that will kill their chance at home field throughout.

Meredith is fantastic - I think she's become a lot better and more comfortable in her role these last couple years, too. She's very professional - not 'look at me!' - she knows her stuff and she always seems really well prepared.

Speaking of on-air people for NYY, I've said this before, but Jack Curry is excellent too. I never really intend on watching postgame shows, but I find that he usually keeps me tuned in for a while after the games. He's a really smart guy and also knows his stuff.

I doubt it because it would mean the Stros have to lose 4 of their last 9. We can't end up tied with them as they have the tie breaker based on head to head so we'd have to have a better record by a game. In effect we're two games behind the best record right now.

blew homefield in Detroit and that uninspired loss Wednesday.

Boy losing German is tough. German after CC looked like a winning combo. But that is/was a 4th option anyway after Paxton, Tanaka and Severino. Guess Happ will take his spot if the biceps is ok.

especially because they've won or tied just about every series at home since roughly May. But they've got to get people healthy, they've got to sort out the last 3-4 spots in the pen and the last spot or two on the bench, they've got to line up starting pitching, etc etc. And the Stros will do the same thing.

Yea I think the ship on having the best record in the AL may have sailed after this 9 game stretch vs the awful Tigers/Jays/Angels(no Trout) where we went 5-4. Can't blame them. Literally in the past 10 days alone we have lost Betances/EE/Gary/German and rested Judge like 3 games. What they have done this year is amazing. Finishing 2nd in the AL may be a blessing in disguise for the ALDS if Oakland gets through the play-in game because they are a nightmare to face for with the Stros or us. They give us both fits, not to mention the travel part. I'd much rather play Minnesota and their pitching. I agree that if anyone else besides Boone get MOTY its just disgusting naked anti-Yankee bias. I mean this team is gonna win 105 games or so while literally setting an MLB record for injuries!

filled in for Meredith a couple times last year. Compared to him, Meredith is Edward R. Murrow. Plus, her rack is simply mesmerizing.

The Twins manager(Brian Baldinger?) will be right there and will be deserving should he win. I agree that with all these injuries Boone should win it, but BBWAA is a strange group and may not look at all the injuries as such and point to the depth of the organization.

Rocco Baldelli.

Brian Baldinger managing the Twins would be interesting! :)

That would definitely be a scoop!

Goal one accomplished by the Yanks, moving on now to
other goals!

ruled out for the rest of the year including the playoffs.

Next man up.
