Because let’s face it, that’s all I care about.

So, I decided I would “live tweet” my thoughts while watching Game 2 of the Worlds Series. Except I didn’t tweet my thoughts, I wrote them down and will be putting them here. I wish I thought of this before Game 1. I’ll probably do this for the rest of the Series. Here’s what went through my head during the game.

Update From Yankee Land

The New York Yankees have clinched a spot in the 2024 MLB playoffs. As of this writing they have a 5-game lead on Baltimore for the division and their magic number is down to 6. I am still not sure winning the division is the way to go (taking a week off is a killer in baseball) but, even if they were to be swept by the O’s next week, they pretty much have the division rapped up. So, let’s head down to Yankee land and see how we got here.

It has been exactly a month so we are long over due for a trip down to Yankee Land. A lot has happened since last we visited, some good, some bad. We will get into all of it but first I would like to personally thank the Baltimore Orioles for not running away with the division. I can’t say for sure they did not bet on the Yankees to win the East. As we stand of this writing the Yankees and Baltimore are tied atop the AL East. The Yankees are 6 games ahead of the Red Sox who are the first team out of the playoffs. Their Magic number to secure a playoff spot is down to 35. Let’s get into how we got here.
