I call bullshit. Nine points:
1. The sad truth is that, heading for the home stretch, only three AL teams - the Royals, Angels and A's - have been eliminated.
2. The sheer Mendoza Line mediocrity of the AL leaves several certified tomato cans in the wild card chase.
3. Baltimore, for example, seemed to wave a white flag on Aug. 3, when they traded Adley Rutschman to Boston. They're still only two games out.
4. And last year's It Girl - Toronto - is suddenly hot, winning 7 of 10. They're a measly 1.5 games out.
5. The Yankees rotation - Schlittler, Cole, and Fried - stacks up against anybody. Also, Ryan Weathers has been lights-out, of late.
6. The Yankees also anticipate the return of the Big Three - Judge, Giancarlo and Cody.
7. That would bring a logjam at DH, 1B and the OF. And it could mean streak hitters, such as Stanton, cannot play every day.
8. But let's not forget the one true Yankee reality.
9. We are always in a continuum of injuries. The next wave will soon crash. There is no such thing as the Yankees at full strength. Do not unbuckle your seat belts. We are probably a lock for the playoffs. But we should thank the lowly AL for its generosity.

I will be at the game today in the Mookie Betts memorial section.
Saw the renegades last night and they have a couple players that we may see it a few years. Unfortunately, it will probably be after ca$hole traded them to a team that will actually play them.
"see IN a few years"
Here’s another idea (I’m full of….them).
Have Stanton move behind the dish and catch a few games.
It would be a perfect solution to our Giancarlo problem.
One or two games - or rather innings - I mean batters OH OK pitches and he’d be done.
For good.
The man wouldn’t be able to shit again without a team of medical professionals and a power lifter.
This is all interesting, but I'd like to see a post about the new "Wolf of Wall Street" Yankee scumbag deal with Apollo Capitol, possibly mentioning the supreme Kushner/Lakers deal and maybe the Melania Memecoin while we're at it. I guess I could write that post, but I'd be too busy puking into a bucket to edit it well. I love you all. And yes, everybody gets a trophy in today's MLB, even if they're all made of recycled Coke bottle plastic.
