What would the 25-man roster be today?

The offseason is far from finished, but Spring Training is now one month away, and there is a more than zero percent chance that the New York Yankees have completed their major offseason transactions. The team you start the season with is never the team you end the season with, but it is about time we project the opening day lineup if the season were to hypothetically start tomorrow. With Didi Gregorius out and Manny Machado and Bryce Harper seemingly out of the picture, who would be on that Opening Day 25-man crew? This is a long blog, so I'm...

There's Three Guys Who Should Start The Wild Card Game. Or Is There?

Three good options or no good option? Is your glass half full or half empty? Is there a secret fourth option? Pour your preferred drink and let's figure it out together.

The Case For and Against Every Wild Card Starter

The Wild Card game is coming (barring something happening that I'm not even going to say but kinda just said). People have been having the conversation for a month now. Some crazy folk have been having it for a couple months. It's all anyone can talk about. I've been dodging the conversation for a while but now it's time to give my full thoughts. The pros and cons of each starting pitcher getting the ball in the wild-card game. Here we go... Tanaka Pros: He's been our best pitcher since the all-star break. His sinker, when right, is a big...

Game 1 Marlins Recap: Tuesday August 21: 2-1 WIN: That was an exhausting and absurd win. But, I'll take it!

SHEESH. What a bizarre game. Going into the 9th tied 1-1, we all had no idea what we were going to witness going forward. Talk about a wide range of emotions: personally, I was scared and depressed when the Marlins had the bases loaded TWICE, I was angry and wanted to freak the fuck out on Boone for some questionable pitching changes, wanted to cry when Chappie left the game, and did a nice little happy dance with beer in hand when we finally got the dub. That's what I call a rollercoaster. But, let's shift back to early in...

Game 3 Rays Recap: Thursday August 16: 3-1 loss: We lost a series at home to the Rays - How?

Let me rephrase my title of this blog: "We lost a series at home to the Rays - FUCKKKKK!" I don't really like to curse until I get into the actual blog, itself. Not trying to totally corrupt America's youth. Doing a good deed, ya know? Anyways, we lost 3-1. Unreal. Tanaka was not bad at all, but, once again, we couldn't mount any sort of offense. His stat line was as follows: 6 IP, 9 hits, 2 ER, 0 walks, 6 Ks. He gave up 2 runs in the first inning, which is a classic move by Masahiro Tanaka. Normally,...
