SIX AND THE CITI

The Yankees have 17 Games left in the regular season.

You can say they all become playoff-type games, but

for certain the next 6 games will not only have playoff implications

but also insane playoff type atmosphere !!

The Yankees will visit Citifield for 3 Games vs. the Mets and then

travel to the Rogers Center for 3 vs. the Toronto Blue Jays.

 

The Mets & Jays have some very interesting similarities :

They are both ..Rivals ( Divisional & Cross-Town)

They are both …teams in 1st Place

They are both … teams that turned their seasons around with aggressive

trade deadline acquisitions.

They are both … teams with long suffering fan bases that are desperate &

energized by the thought of post season baseball again

 

Here’s how much is on the line over the next 6 games

Win all 6  … and the Yankees would be at worst tied for 1st Place in the A.L. East

Lose all 6 … and the Yankees could conceivably be on the outside looking

in at the two Wild Card spots & facing the possibility of not making the playoffs for

a 3rd year in a row.

 

It starts with the match up vs. the Mets

Tanaka v Matz

Pineda v Syndergaard

Sabathia v Harvey

There will be Yankee fans in attendance, there always are

fans of both teams during a subway series, but make no mistake,

sold out Citifield will be jam packed with mostly Met fans .. & they

will be loud.

The Yankees are a veteran team that has played well on the

road this season (39-33) and they need to continue to be

Road Warriors because the Mets and Blue Jays have

something else in common

They are both … teams that would love nothing better than to

knock the hated Yankees out of the playoff picture

 

 

As always,

 

GO NYY !!
