Boston too for that matter. I mean that should go without saying at this point. It's going to be back to BOS/NYY in 2yrs at the least, maybe even this post-season. Get ready boys.

Oh no... Buchholz going to the DL for 3-5 months. Gosh, what a tragedy. However, Howie Kendrick is also going to the DL. That actually does suck.

Series win over the Mets!
TBH, this has been a pretty encouraging start. 5-7 in 12 games against the Nats & Mets; were competitive in all but one of them; and probably would've won 2-3 more if the bullpen wasn't the drizzling craps. And this was with over half of the lineup looking like crap.

i gotta admit...im surprised at how good the Yankees have been playing. i mean i didnt expect them to be 2-13, but this hot streak they've been on was unexpected.
however i dont believe its a fluke. this team is "gel-ing" exactly the way good teams do. the pitching is holding up nicely and the lineup is playing with energy and excitement. im loving this.

For the first time since Ultey-Howard-Burrell in '08, the Phils have gone back-to-back-to-back. The previous game, they did something else they haven't done since '08 - turn a deficit into a walk-off win in extras.
I'm going to start prepping for the parade now.

would anyone really care if baseball came up with some kind of "mercy" rule....and not because i think the players shouldnt have to deal with it. but for the fact that its just wasting talent and time when its 13-3 in the 7th inning ....all the scrub guys are in anyway, the only fans who are there are the ones who have nothing better to do....the broadcast is showing fans in the stands and footage of other games instead of the one thats going on
like why not just go with both teams agreeing on the end, and everyone can just go home and get some sleep.

I did think about it this weekend, when the Dodger's were getting clobbered on back to back nights by the D-Backs. Maybe the losing manager comes out with a white flag. One good point can be that teams can save their bullpen. Bad point is we may miss some historic moments like when Chan Ho Park gave up two grand slams to Fernando Tatis in one inning.

I have a feeling the Red Sox are going to start a fight with the Yankees this series. I think they are well aware of what Aaron Judge has been doing, hitting 450 feet moonshots and they are sitting there saying "not us". I think they are going to either wait for him to hit one and then start throwing at him, OR they'll just nail him in his first AB tonight and try and rattle him for the rest of the series.
But either way, the Red Sox are going to pull some sort of stunt this series. I just feel it. And when the Red Sox throw at people, they do it real dirty with headshots. Stupid, and dangerous. Could have killed Machado over the weekend.

I'm not sure how I feel about Derek Jeter owning the Marlins.... I guess I just always thought he'd end up in the Yankee front office somehow

A five-game winning streak? A winning record? And another salami by Franco?
I guess my black magic is working.

I'm going to take back what I said about Luis Severino. He's been amazing for far this year. I guess whatever Pedro Martinez taught him in the offseason really has paid off. He's just been a completely different guy this year. More like what we saw at the end of 2015, but better. His slider is unhittable, his changeup has been really good, and his fastball stays 97-99 the ENTIRE GAME. His strikeouts have been way up, also.
I thought based on last years splits as a starer/reliever that he was destined for the bullpen, because he was just soooo bad as a starter last year and soooo good as a reliever....but the guy we are seeing in 2017 has ace type stuff. I really hope he keeps it up. This would be huge for us if we could really count on him as a top guy.
So far every Yankee pitcher has been great. Pineda and Severino's first starts of the year were a little dicey, as was Tanaka, but everyone seems to have settled. Even in the games the Yankees have lost, the game has never gotten out of hand and they were in it right until the last out.
And to think we don't even have Didi or Sanchez right now....team is only going to get better. Just need to avoid the injury bug and this team has a chance.

i just keep waiting for the bottom to fall out on Severino & Pineda. I just keep feeling like they cant keep up this "we're actually ace pitchers" pace they are on. it also bothers me that Sanchez got hurt, I feel like he is going to be our catcher the next 16 years....but starting off his first full season like this is making it difficult to feel comfortable about that.

He got hurt on the 5th game of the season. He will be fine. Judge didn't have a great first 5 games either, but he's a monster now. Sanchez is the thing I worry about least, as long as he's healthy, and this injury could have happened to anybody. He will be fine.

last night was magical. i think that was the best game Tanaka has pitched since the Yankees signed him. both pitchers just firing strikes, the game cruised along it wasn't a drawn out 4 hour marathon.
pretty sure nobody expected Tanaka to outduel Sale. What an awesome night.
