Three games against the Rockies offered the Yankees an opportunity, and it was one they took. A sweep of Colorado has New York on the brink of clinching a playoff spot, and though the Rays did take two of three from Atlanta this week, the Yankees managed to draw within three games of Tampa in the AL East. We now head into a heady series, the Mets crossing town as the New York rivals start off this edition of the Subway Series on the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. It’s sure to be an emotional
and memorable night.
Ahead of the matchup with the Mets, Sam will provide our series preview, before also recapping a very light day of action in the American League on Thursday. Later, our latest Yankee Birthday comes from Nick, who profiles Bill Hogg, a talented pitcher from the early 20th century who we lost too young, and in the afternoon, Madison delivers the answers to this week’s mailbag.
