RUNK Log continued: Yank victory brings instant gratification but long-term pain in Tankathon

 Holy crap. Jubilation! Joy! We won a game! Goldy came through! The bullpen held! We're still viable. 

One game up in the wild card! Hooray.

Yeah, that's sarcasm. You got a problem with that? 

The Yankees remain a mere 5-game losing streak from drafting in the Top 10 next June. Is that not a worthy goal? They can draft a 7-foot outfielder, or the ghost of Brien Taylor. 

Long night. Celebrated the win, channel hopping between Little League and A Star Is Born, with Judy Garland pumping up the jam. 

Strange. No hangover. Astros next. By next week, we could catch Cincy and Cleve. I need a drink.

Redsock fans arriving today. Need to hide.

    Strangely, I found a photo of Boone in an Astro uniform. But I couldn't fit it in.

    Don't let a single game discourage you, Duque. We can still catch Tampa. It's right there in back of us.

    The Met fans booed Soto yesterday. So there's that.

    JM - Re: Boone in an Astros uniform.

    That was a photo taken with X-ray specs. He was wearing it under his Yankee uniform during the 2022 ALCS.
