The Red Sox fired their GM Dave Dumbrowski after they got their asses kicked by the Yank all season long. He opened the checkbooks and emptied the farm, but at least they got a championship.

I have no words for how bad this team is. Pirates Man, Felipe Vasquez is a pedophile, so I guess Kyle Crick wasnt being a prick when he punched him out in the locker room and tore his finger.

So was Aroldis Chapman but he's still playing Yeah but that's because it was deemed that Chapman was innocent, even though Manfred still decided to suspend him for 30 games because he doesn't like the Yankees. Let's say German actually committed a serious crime. He could face jail time. His career could be over. I mean, if he actually did commit domestic violence, he's a piece of crap and shouldn't be playing anyway. But even IF he's found innocent, as Chapman was, there is still a possibility that MLB will STILL suspend him either for the remainder of this season/Postseason and/or for the beginning of next season.

The universe doesn't want the Yankees to win this year. A million injuries, and even non-baseball related crap. Yet, 100 wins and AL East champions.
German allegedly slapped his girlfriend in a public setting. That's the only details I've seen so far. If that actually happened, then he's obviously not pitching anymore this year and will have suspension time to serve next year.

Domingo German wont pitch against this year, but the Yankos still have a savage lineup and championship rotation with Paxton/Tanaka/Sabathia/Happ/Severino

Domingo German wont pitch against this year, but the Yankos still have a savage lineup and championship rotation with Paxton/Tanaka/Sabathia/Happ/Severino I'm not saying the Yankees don't have great offense, they do, juiced balls or no juiced balls, minor league ball park or no minor league park, they mash 1-9. To say they have a championship rotation though is just not right. - Paxton, definitely had a quality year but only had a slightly above ERA+, still good K numbers and solid era but even a higher WHIP. Has won 10 straight though. - Tanaka had a pretty below average year, luckily played for the Yankees - Sabathia is past his best before date and relegated to the bullpen. Should tell you all you need to know about his performance. - Happ, terrible numbers too. - Severino, question mark but looked against the Jays today. The bullpen throws bullets but they'll really need to rely on them because their starters just aren't that good and can't be expected to go that deep. I think for the Yankees (and Twins), it'll be mash the ball or get off the pot this post-season.

I think for the Yankees (and Twins), it'll be mash the ball or get off the pot this post-season. I think the Yankees have a Championship rotation. Paxton's year as a whole is kinda skewed because of June and July where he lost his curveball. He's corrected that and has gone 6-0 with a 3.57 in August and a 4-0 with a 0.36 so far in September. Tanaka is like Andy Pettitte....up and down during the regular season, but Tanaka owns a 1.50 cumulative Postseason ERA and has proven he's a big game pitcher. I believe Severino is fully back. He threw 80 pitches yesterday and was unhittable, and he'll get one more start and that'll push him up over 90 pitches. He's throwing 97-99 MPH and the control and bite he DIDN'T have on the slider on Tuesday he DID have yesterday. His rehab and appearances so far have mirrored EXACTLY what a pitcher would go through in a full Spring Training. He'll be good to go in the Playoffs just as if he were starting the regular season. As long as he's healthy, he's a true ace in a sport that maybe has 10 true aces. Beyond that, the Yankees can get through a Game 4 with a combination of Green/Happ/CC and then we've still got the back end of the bullpen of Kahnle, Ottavino, Britton, and Chapman. Due to off days in the Postseason, they should be available almost EVERY DAY. I truly think the Yankees will be fine. Anything can happen. Paxton is 10-0 down the stretch; doesn't mean he doesn't get lit up in his first Playoff start. It happened to Happ last year. He was 7-0 with us after the trade and got pounded in Game 1 of the ALDS. It's all a crapshoot. They are either going to play well and win, or not play well and lose. The best teams get to the Playoffs, the hottest team is going to win. But the potential IS there for the Yankees to go all the way. I don't see them as a team full of question marks where it would take an absolute miracle.

Last day of the season, still a couple of things could happen in the wild card and NL central. Gonna be a fun day!
And re: Yankees talk, not going to go down that road anymore. Pointless. Gonna be a great postseason regardless.

103 wins, not bad. Twins aren't going to be a pushover this year, that team can HIT.
I don't see the Yankees dominating, I think it might even go 5.

There isn't a single NL team I want to win this year.
Jumping on the Twins or A's bandwagon.
