00:00the Yankees made it official. They are heading back to the postseason with an opportunity to

00:07avenge last year's disgusting effort against the Dodgers in the big game. But they did win

00:13the American League pennant. They'll have a shot to do it. And they, too, a flare for the dramatic

00:18last night. This was a 2-1 game heading into the ninth there. A wild pitch ties it. And then we

00:25had a walk-off shot to get it done for the Yankees. And guess what? They're going back

00:30to the postseason. Yeah, no shock that they're going back to the postseason, right? We expect

00:35that from the Yankees. What kind of damage can they do in the postseason? The Yankees are a weird

00:40team. I mean, I don't think it would shock anybody if they go back to the World Series. It also

00:44wouldn't shock anybody if they lose two out of three in the wildcard round. They're done.

00:48All right. So we don't know what we're going to get. And they're also, by the way, they're not

00:51dead for the division. Toronto lost again last night, right? Boston beat them. Big win

00:55for the Red Sox. Yankees are only a game behind. All right. They play the White Sox for two

00:59more, then Baltimore for three. Toronto's got Boston for two more. Then they do get the

01:03Rays. But the Yankees aren't done. They'll have Max Fried going tonight. Carlos Rodon going

01:07tomorrow against the White Sox. You would expect a sweep here. So any slip-up by the Jays,

01:12all of a sudden we're tied. We're tied going into the final three games here of the regular

01:16season. So we'll see what could happen here. But the Yankees are that weird team. We know

01:20they like to bludgeon you to death. They lead the Major League Baseball on home runs

01:23here. But their fundamentals, not the greatest, to put it nicely. Last night, once again,

01:29the only run the White Sox scored was maybe a miscommunication between Grisham and Judge

01:33in the outfield. Ball drops in there, leads to a run there. And also, you know, another

01:38runner picked off base. Sometimes it's been an epidemic now for the Yankees over the last

01:4210 days. So the little things the Yankees aren't very good at, and generally in the playoff

01:46show, the little things catch up to you.
