Born to be Wild

so - time to say that the Redsox are just better than the Yankees this year. They have beaten up on the bad teams, and the Yankees have not...  example : the Sox are 10 and 2 against the Orioles and the Yanks are 6 and 6 ,.....  the Sox are 9 and 4 against Tampa - and again Yanks are just .500 .vs them at 6 and 6.....   So it really matters not that the Sox beat up in the Yankees they will win the Division on the Strength of their record agains other teams...  IF you are really a Die hard New York fan look at this,,,, the Redsox are 8 1/2 games up in the AL east with 50 game to go....If the Sox go 25 and  25 - they play .500 baseball a long drop for the near .700 pace they are playing today,,,, but lets say they do play  25- 25..... the Yankees will need to be 9 games better than that to beat them or 34 and 16 - HA ! fat Chance of that happening....  let's hope NY can at least hold on to the WILD Card lead - that's 3 1/2 this morning,,, and they will get to host the Wild Card game against either Mariners or Oakland...

A positive out of Saturday - Chance Adams pitched well - 5 innings 3 hits, 3 Earned runs,,, 83 pitches - with 53 Strikes ,,,,, a decent outing in a very hostile environment...

The Hitting - Frankly SUCKS !!  Yes they miss Aaron Judge in that line up - and no one has stepped up...  Didi is trying - others are just floundering... the last two games they have 2 runs on 6 hits, ain't winning no games like that   - they are a Collective 14 for 93 in the Series - hitting a Paltry .151 against Redsox pitching....  the Sox - hitting .311 .vs the Yanks,,,  and ok - if you leave Thursday's blow out -  out of the data they are about .225

SO - If you are Really Hopeful - the Yanks win the Wild Card  - NY hosts  and wins  the one game playoff that gets them in to the Division series....  You then get to play the Houston Astros in the 1st Round, and Boston gets Cleveland  - and BTW  NY Is 5 & 2 against the 'stros this year......

Let's do some music ......
