It’s time to wrap up the regular season at long last. Despite the now patented summer slide that the Yankees went through in June and July, the team started to right the ship in August and have made their
push in September to potentially take the division out of Toronto’s hands. They’ll need some help, as the Jays need to lose and they need to win to flip their place in the standings, but thats a better shot than most gave them a mere month ago.
Before the Game 162 festivities kick off, let’s run through what we’ve got for ya. Estevao starts us off with the top defensive plays of September, and then Peter provides the penultimate Rivalry Roundup of the regular season. Nick gives us a mock of what the Yankees’ playoff roster could be if they need to play in the Wild Card Round, Kevin covers the 2000 Yankees’ continued slide, and John has the social media spotlight.
