    I hear ya, funny though some your fans here wanted Joe Girardi fired earlier this year. They have been on fire since the Allstar break.

    Let's go boys!!! Close this shit out today. Could be the AL East, 100 wins, home field, tie the season series with the Bo Sox after losing the first 8 and a nice little sweep.

    Yes, we have some very stupid fans. They thought the sky was falling around the time they lost 2 of 3 to the Nationals.

    I guess when you haven't won a world series in a while, you need to celebrate the small stuff ...

    Ortiz was on the record saying they were going to celebrate winning the Wild Card in Yankee stadium, guess that didn't happen.

    Been a fun year, pretty amazing the season series is tied. A Yanks-Sox ALCS would be a lot of fun.

    Whoohoo! Another division title. They're getting closer to my prediction of 105 wins. But I don't think they'll get it. But still.

    i love how the sox fans were so excited (rightfully so) winning the first 8 games. Then the yanks win 9 of the last 10!

    Sweeping the Sox in the new stadium to clinch the division is so SWEET! :D

    Anyone else a twins fan for the next few games? I have no problem really facing anyone at this point, but just love the idea of not having to face Verlander 2x. Twins win today, tonight play for 1st place

    I definitely think so. It always scares me to see the yanks playing a team that hot but they have the Twins number.

    anyone can beat anyone in the playoffs. doesn't make a difference who they play, the yanks just have to perform.

    I know John Sterling says you can't predict baseball at least five times per broadcast, but I'm pretty sure you could have predicted the Yankees scoring two off Kyle Farnsworth, a key component of the bullpen arson squad....

    it was hysterical, the whole crowd was chanting "Farnsworth Sucks" throughout the inning.

    Well they fell short of my prediction. But the ultimate goal is coming up. And thanks to the Twins for tying up the division. And forcing the Tigers to pitch Verlander.
