This team is incredible.

A few more wins and I don’t think the Yankees will be able to catch us even when Judge returns.

I actually think the Yankees could end up losing the wild card.

They've got a .632 winning percentage now, with injuries. The Astros are the only other team over .600 in the entire AL (other than the Sox of course). Sure, it COULD happen.....but the odds are extremely long.

Stranger things have happened late in the season.

Shhh!!! No mention of 2011 is allowed.

I never mentioned the year!

Crap! than I jinxed it. I take it back. My bad. I said nothing. That year never existed.

The Yanks have a 99.8% chance of making the playoffs. Have they?

They probably will but I wouldn't be shocked if either Oakland or Seattle put a scare into them.

I should note that I would take great pleasure in watching the Yankees falter after they went all in at the deadline.

Is it just me that wants them to lose a few games in a row before the playoffs? Love what they've done to this point, but can't help feeling like they're peaking too early...

I understand your point but how do they do that? Go out and lose on purpose?

Pretty easy actually. Pitch Pomeranz.

No, not at all. I'm saying I hope they have a little dip and lose a couple, so they can refocus before the playoffs. A little adversity does a team well at times.

They do seem to come from behind quite frequently, often from substantial deficits. I'm certainly hoping that's enough.

I’m actually hoping that Oakland wins the West and NYY has to play Houston in the WC game.

It would suck to have to play Houston first, but I would strangely feel better about it than NYY. Playing teams in your division in the playoffs in all sports is no bueno.

That's scary.

There is no one I dislike in sports more than Keith Olbermann.

Severino at almost 60 pitches thru two innings. Mets actually have a 2-0 lead for deGrom.

Shocker: Mets are incompetent and can’t turn a routine double play. Game tied.

Complete non-shocker: I read this post in the voice of @LouJersey .

With Tim “Vote them all into the Hall” Kurkjian sitting next him. Ugh

The only thing missing to make it a terrible trifecta is Joe Morgan.
