No Babe, Wang's pitching tonight

I guess Jason Giambi has the MLB Comeback Player of the Year Award by the needles...

I hope he does get it. 30 home runs exceede my expectations

Giambi will finish with 35 Hr's.

I bet with you managing the team, he'd be good for at least another five :p

Which team is more likely to win the Wildcard in their perspective leagues: Marlins or Yankees?

Yanks. I don't know what the Marlins schedule is but the Yanks have a pretty easy one (plus Houston managed to sneak in last year and is still unfortunately hanging around)

Down 2-0 in the top of the 4th, with two outs. Damn!

Cano ties it 5-5 with a Grand Slam in the 6th!

Almost makes me want to take back all the bad things I said about him. And ARod just hit a two run home run.

Another well needed win tonight and with Oakland's win the Yanks are only .5 games outta the wild card lead and only 1.5 games outta boston!

I missed part of the 2nd inning!! Why was RJ ejected from the game???!!! This is driving me crazy!!

Yeah, FIX!

FIX!

FIX!

The pitch wasn't even inside, and the Ump just busts out, whips off his...mask ( :p ), and throws RJ out of the game. Totally sweet.

Of course, the Blue Jays pitcher nearly hit Giambi in the leg in the next inning, but let's not go there. After all, he didn't intend to throw it inside.

I think the whole neighborhood just heard me yell "WTF, fucking fix." Then again, Cano hits another HR, and hey, I'm all better.

And the Irish catcher is kicking arse as well!

Another good win for the Yanks. Unfortunately Oakland couldn't hold it's lead My brother called me during the game and said the score was 11-3 Yanks and Randy got thrown out in like the 2nd or 3rd inning. I couldn't believe it!

Another quality win for the Yanks today for their 6th in a row Keeping that playoff pressure on both Cleveland and boston. ronnie, what happened to them fish in the 9th inning!?

That's all you can say?

I can't remember the last time they won 1-0 with this pitching staff. Pretty amazing, actually! Especially since yesterday (against the same team) it was 11-10!

A-Rod for MVP

Sunday 6-5 Boooooooooo.

It would be neat if the Yankees could go on a tear, overtake Boston and Cleveland beats out Boston for the wild card. It can happen.

I agree with Mary Cas's post that NY can overtake Boston, especially with NY playing the pathetic Orioles 8 more times. The Cleveland - Whitesox series this weekend and the last series of the season will determine who wins the Central. What a colossal choke if Chicago should lose. They were up 15 games on Aug 1st. Now it's 3 1/2 games with 6 to play head-to-head.

We can always pray and cross our fingers, can't we?

For the AL I'd like to see the Yanks, Indians, White Sox and A's make the postseason. For the NL I'd like to see the Padres, Cards, Philies, and (unfortunately) atlanta

The Yanks have to win at least the next 10 games to make it to the playoff's.

Another BIG win for the Yanks, plus a boston lose. The Yanks are now only a half game outta first!

If Bubba could be consistent at the plate, the Yanks wouldn't need to shop for an outfielder this offseason. Damn, if he keeps hitting like that, he could be awesome.

Who just saw the Orioles' first baseman get injured? OMG! When they showed the replay, I thought that his arm was going to go flying into the stands. OUCH!! It was awful!

But the Yankees are winning!

Yankees won, Indians lost last night, so they gained a game in the wild card. However, Boston also won, so they're still a half game out of first place.

They are currently winning 2-0 in the bottom of the 4th. Why do I get the feeling that it's all going to come down to those last three games at Fenway?

It WILL come down to the last 3 games at fenway. As for tonight, ahhhhhhhhhhh the Yankees are in first! Yankees are in first!

First place! First place! And get this - with the Indians win tonight, Boston is one game out of the Wild Card. Sorry, SC, I don't like to gloat, but the Yankees are in first place!!

The Spirit of the Bambino has been awakened. He's mad. Those baggy-pants,pine-tar-helmeted,unshaven cretans shouldn't be in first place and the Bambino will ensure that. Unfortunately last year the Babe had a hangover and his magical curse was under the weather.

Boston is still gonna be tough to keep down as long as Ortiz is swinging. However, it looks like the Yankees pitching rotation has finally stabilized to the point where we don't have to sign the drudges of the league to try and fill out a whole 5 man rotation. The fielding is above average (especially A-Rod as of late). The bats are spectacular (also A-Rod, Cano, and now Lawton? )

It's shaping up to be the *best* October in awhile for baseball.
