[MLB] Yanks take lead in AL East


Recommended Posts

The Yanks have battled back feverishly I'll give them that, but I still dont want them in the playoffs. Both Sox teams choking here in the final stretch, its a little unsettling. Hopefully the BoSox pull it out, nothing would please me more than to see the Yanks on their couches in the postseason.

Ugh.? Anybody, but the Yankees - the bandwagon team of the decade!

Bandwagon team? I personally know two kinds of people in my life with regard to the Yankees. Either they are life-long diehard fans (like bangbang023) or they absolutely despise the Yankees (like myself:devil:). Actually, Ido> know two people who weren't always Yankee fans but jumped ship, butonly> thsoe two (seem to be the exception not the rule in my experience). Aside from them the battle lines are clearly drawn for everyone else I know. That includes family, friends, co-workers, acquaintances, classmates and just about every other person I've met in my walk of life.

I was with the team before there was a bandwagon.

I hate the NY Bankees.

That's original. How can you get upset about them using their money? The Yankees are in a hot market and have VERY loyal fans who shell out a lot of cash. Steinbrenner simply puts the money back into the team instead of pocketing almost all of it.

As for the comeback, it's unbelievable. If we can get a 2 game lead by the time we meet up with Boston, I think we'll make it. As everyone has been saying for the past week, screw Cleveland, we want the East.

(Y) for the Yankees. (N) for my Marlins

You guys have a lot to look forward though. You're a young team with a lot of talent. If the owners are willing to spend a little to hang on to your top guys, you're in top shape to become one of the best teams in the NL.

We are a good team, but we have no friggin bullpen.

Plus the Braves in your division. As long as they're there it seems anyone else in the NL East has to shoot for the wild-card. I really thought this was the year they'd fall but when they're winning games with 8 guys in the lineup being rookies (a few times this year) I don't see how they'll ever not win. Only hope is they don't have that kind of depth in the farm system to fill in the pitching rotation when the guys they have finally retire. Of course, Mezzone (sp?) seems to be able to trun ANYone into a good pitcher anyway.

Here I was thinking that I could enjoy a playoffs without the Yankees, but then they had to go on this latest run while Boston falls. Cleveland is doing their job, although at this rate they'll overtake Chicago, who would themselves have given the Yanks the Wild Card.

Yes! The Yankees have won again tonight, and with Boston off tonight, the Yanks are now a full game ahead of the Red Sox. I honestly didn't think (although I really hoped) the AL East wouldn't come down to the last 3 games betwen the Yanks and Red Sox, but that is now looking very likely.

Wouldn't it be interesting if one of them doesn't make it to the postseason at all? Of course, it is very likely that one of the two of them wins the division, and Cleveland will just break down in the end and give up the Wild Card spot to the other AL East team. Heck, it might even be the White Sox who do it!

Man, the last 10 games of the season are going to be very interesting for which teams from the AL make the playoffs. It's going to be awesome! :woot:

Cleveland will not give up the Wild Card they are still a half game ahead of NY, let alone a game and a half ahead of Boston, Cleveland is the team NO ONE in the American League wants to play right now.

The Yankees and the Indians are currently the two hottest teams in the AL right now, both with impressive records for the past 2 weeks. The Yankees kept trying to catch the Indians to go ahead in the Wild Card, but the Indians kept pace very nicely. In the process, with both teams being hot, the Yankees simply overtook the Red Sox for the AL East lead. Who needs the Wild Card when you can win the division? :cool:

Yes, the Yankees are the current bandwagon team in baseball if you haven't noticed. I despise the Yankees as well. All you have to do is look around and talk to people and you'll see more people walking around in Yankees stuff than 5 years ago. Plus, people who have no idea how to play baseball will say they like the Yankees.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
