The stage has been set, the cards have been dealt. After 162 games, the MLB postseason is here. Joining Alex Kielar to preview the playoffs were John Lepore and Jamie Gatlin.
Game 154 in 1949, Bucky Dent in 1978, the Aaron f’n Boone game in 2003, and Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS collapse. Those have been the four other win-or-go-home games between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Now comes the fifth on Tuesday night as the greatest rivalry in all of sports is renewed. It follows both teams winning Game 162 on the final day of the regular season. Both teams finished with the same record, at 92-70. But the Red Sox won the season series, 10-9, which means this will go down at Fenway Park.Â
The 2021 MLB season is set to end on October 3, and there is still much to be decided in the league’s playoff races.
With how fragile teams can be in September, the playoff race changes every day. Every single team gets involved, even the bad ones. The message for the contenders is simple: beat up on the bad teams. Look at the AL East, where the Orioles will decide who makes it and who does not.
Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez has had an up-and-down career in the Bronx. What once seemed like a top-five catcher now seems like a potential open competition for the Yankees.
The New York Yankees are the most successful franchise of all time and have many Hall of Famers. With that being said, here is their all-time 26-man roster.
Tempers flared between the Yankees and Mets on Sunday night, with Giancarlo Stanton and Francisco Lindor right in the middle of it.
New York Yankees baseball has not been at its best in the last week. They lost a series to the last-place Orioles, then had a chance to put away the Blue Jays’ season by winning a four-game set against them in New York.
Toronto has put themselves back into the conversation of obtaining one of the two wild card positions in the American League. The Blue Jays represent just one of the great stories in baseball to emerge out of the early goings of September.
After a long wait, fans, inductees, family, and everyone in between finally got to witness the 2020 members get inducted in. On the lawn outside the Clark Sports Center, one mile south of the hallowed Hall in Cooperstown, N.Y., four new members with much different paths were inducted on Wednesday.
What is each MLB contender’s biggest x-factor? This will be the player that not necessarily be the team’s best player, but their performance will be important to help them into the postseason and further.
If you hadn’t heard, Major League Baseball decided to get fun for once. This Thursday, the White Sox and Yankees played a thriller in Dyersville, IA, right next to the set of baseball classic Field of Dreams. What other movie adaptations could baseball (or sports in general) do?
