The final month of the regular season is upon us! The Yankees will celebrate Labor Day by taking the day off and catching a breather before they begin what should be a tense three-game series in Houston against those ever-annoying, AL West-leading Astros. The Yanks smoothly went 6-1 against the miserable Nationals and White Sox, but this will be a real challenge. The stretch run is here and the AL East crown is at least a possibility, as the Yanks trail the Jays by three games. Take it to Toronto
and fend off Boston!
Today on the site, Peter will run our monthly GM poll on Brian Cashman, Jake will have the Rivalry Roundup, John will resume our 2000 Yankees Diary following their August 31st offday 25 years ago, Madison will have the mailbag prompt, and Estevão will offer up a one-two punch of divisional check-ins, first on the AL Central and then the AL West.
Today’s Matchup:
Offday
Questions/Prompts:
1. Predict the final top three in the AL East. Will it be the current Jays/Yankees/Red Sox order, or some other variation?
2. Will you watch any baseball today with the Yanks off, or do you have other plans?
