Top 10 cheerful, upbeat, happy talk positives from the Yankees three-game win streak, ranked.

1. We didn't lose.

2. Possess 5th best record in MLB.

3. Did this without Gerrit Cole. (Back in mid-June? Wait? That's just next month!)

4. Did this with Aaron Judge - "Captain Ejection" - in slump. 

5. Judge slump might be ending. (.355 over last nine games, has raised BA 30 points, to .220.)

6. Impossibly, Juan Soto has lived up to NY hype.

7. Yank starters have lasted at least 4 innings in every game. (Tied with Baltimore.) Bullpen better off than other teams. 

8. Clay Holmes = MLB's best closer.

9. Luis Gil (ERA: 3.19) has pitched like ace.

10. In months to come, Kahnle, Effross, Trivino, Brubaker (escapee from prison) should boost staff. 

BONUS: Yanks' "signature" beer brewed near Syracuse.
 


Note: If we lose to Astro cheats, disregard all above.

  1. Everyone knows that Blakney looked at Judge and suffered a premature ejection.

    AA, fortunately, no. How-evah, unfortunately my allergies are killing me, hence the early morning start.

  11. AA. Didn't you hear the announcement about the brown acid?

  12. 15. I'm supposedly due for a colonoscopy, but I don't feel the urgency. Maybe it's just fear of MiraLax.

    By the way, "This beer is crisp, aromatic and fruity golden ale with brilliant clarity. Its slight sweetness from 2-row barley and wheat malts are balanced with light bitterness from Mt. Hood and Hallertau hops, says the Yankees website."

    What the fuck does all that mean?

  14. JM - Quite simply it means that it is made with the same barely, wheat and hops that MiraLax is.

    If fact, if you discover a container into a large, BIG GULP-SIZED cup of sparkling water I betcha it will taste pretty much the same.

    (however your results may vary. A LOT)

  15. Strike barely- add barley.

    Thanks for your cooperation, citizen
