a big blow for the yankees dropping 5 of 7 making the huge hill to make the postseason even harder. the wheels fell off. clay holmes knocks down the knocked hit right at him. his counter fire is a bit wide. that allows the marlins to score two runs in the wreckage. next up louis array slapping a shot down the line. the six-run lead is gone and we are tied. then jake burger, how you like em? well done. yankees in last place in the a.l. east. we need victory so any time you lose it s tough but obviously when you have the game in control for the most part with a lot of good things happening out there, you know, credit to them for putting some really good at-bats together.
going into arbitration day. that s the tying home run from hicks and the yankees won the game. that s one of the best starts in major league history. i m not going to be richard haas here. i m not going to jinx things or show hubris, but, man, they are a fun team to watch this year. they re pitching and hitting at the same time, which is a rare combination. i keep reminding lemire of the 2001 mariners yes. of the 154 indians. and yes, of course, willie, of the 1906 chicago cubs. that s all i ve got. but it is it s been an extraordinary year. you know, the yankees, i thought at the beginning of the year, thought and of course, we re looking right there at the playoffs. you have the red sox who are going to beat the yankees as a wild card team. 13 13 games back. but i was thinking really quickly, because we have so much news to get to. yes, we really do.
