Good thing I fell asleep and missed most of this one. Most worrisome is Holder's performance. Is he bad again? Once it was 6-0, my family and I went for a group walk in the park near our house. It's very rare to get two teenagers to do anything with their parents anymore, so we had to take advantage of that and the gorgeous fall-like weather we're getting this weekend. Brilliant move. I intended to go outside and do yard work, but my sinuses are really bad today. I watered a couple plants and came back in. I’m still sofa-bound, even though I need to get some stuff done. Just took some Alka-Seltzer Plus... it’s beautiful here today, too... |

I was just going to post this. Kid is going to be a star. Just throw that curveball more! So weird that he didn't throw it at all the last two games. I hope we get some answers on this. |

I thought there were only 2 seasons in Chicago--winter and July 4th.

So this is where the Yankees stand with the twins :
The Yankees have the tiebreaker over the twins. The tiebreaker is division record which the Yankees lead the twins by 3 games in the loss (22-14 4 left vs 21-17) so if the Yankees win 2 against the Jays the twins can't get that tie breaker even if they win both vs the tigers. So the Yankees still control their own destiny there since two wins gets them to a maximum of 16 losses which the twins already have 17 losses.
The magic number to guarantee a tie is 7.
Yankees have 4 @ Blue jays and back home for 3 vs Marlins.
Twins have 2 against tigers and 3 against Reds all at home.
I really think with what we saw last week the Yankees should go at least 5-2 but we will see.
Cleveland could still catch the twins and become the 5 seed, but again they also have 17 division losses so the Yankees would have the tiebreaker vs them as well with 2 wins against the Blue Jays.
Bottom line it looks pretty good for the Yankees to get the 4 seed unless the twins win out. Not that the Yankees can't win 7 in a row but they might be resting people the last series.

Although at the outset of the season we would not expected it, the Yankees will also be playing all 7 of the final games vs. playoff bound teams with a reason to play well, and same incentives to play well, yet prepare for the playoffs. We can be especially surprised to see the Marlins in that position... |

The Yankees could still catch the Rays but it won't be easy as they are 3 behind and the rays have the head to head tiebreaker. The rays have 3 at Citifield and 3 at home vs the Phillies left. Most likely won't happen because if the Yankees go 5-2 they would be at 24 losses and the rays would need to lose all 6 games for the Yankees to pass them.
Yankees would need the following to win the division:
6-1 record while rays go 1-5 giving the Yankees 23 losses and rays 24 losses.
7-0 record while rays go 2-4 ,1-5, 0-6 giving the Yankees 22 losses and the rays 23, 24, or 25 losses.
Bottom line no matter what the Yankees do the Rays only need to win 3 games this week to clinch as that would cap their losses at 22 and the Yankees already have 22 losses.

That is the thing they might not be able to rest people as both of their opponents are playoff teams and can still improve their seeding. |
