Ok, he was apparently yelling, "Boston loves New York"

So it's definitely not Rock.

Yeah, he doesn’t look like a rocket scientist one bit.....

It's going to be a quick exit from the playoffs if the Yankees can't get to the 4 seed.

Gashouse gorillas in the Bronx, Chico's Bail Bonds on the road.

Very classy gesture by the Yanks getting destroyed last night. You guys should do that like 3 or 4 more times this week.

At least let the Twins have home field for the inevitable.

I don't know

Yanks are .223/.317/.365 outside of Yankee stadium.

Winning 2 of 3 anywhere but home is looking like a tall order.

I agree then Twins did have a hell of a year this year. But the Yankees always seem to get things clicking at the right time when they need to

12 runs? On the road?

They're playing possum.....ready to catch the Rays by surprise.......

For the first time in my life (Not even '86-I was like Switzerland) I will be actively rooting for the Mets.

The problem with these Yankees it seems is there not constantly runs producers night in and night out. Unlike previous years where you knew every night they were gonna put 5 runs up on the board. They just don’t have that this year. And it will certainly hurt them in the playoffs.

They suck on the road, notwithstanding Tuesday's outburst.

Not optimal when you have to win 2 of 3 somewhere to advance.

Neutral sites though. I think the bigger problem is being 16-4 against the Red Sox/Orioles and 16-19 against everyone else.

My bad: thought it was all in the bubble.

Yeah, 1st round best of 3 all at the higher seed's park.

I'm not hopeful, but maybe they'll surprise me.

Starting to look like they'll be headed to Chicago instead of Minnesota, but pretty much a lock now they won't be in the Bronx.

 

[nynasty]

2 more feet on Sanchez' drive and we'd be talking about the best win of the year. Sigh.

This is not the optimal year to enter the playoffs when you can't win (or hit) on the road.

Expectations severely tempered.

Ryu has been fantastic this year.
Jays could surprise

When Ryu is commanding all his pitches, he as tough as anyone in the game.

And it looks like Guerrero is starting to put it together.

I'll smile for days if you guys take out Tampa.

Yeah at least now barring the Twins being swept by Cincy and the Yanks sweep the Marlins, we at least will get the home games if we face ya'll again.

But we control our own destiny for the 2/3 seed so I hope it doesnt come to it.
