The Big Aaron's endorsement might make Boonie the Teflon Aaron

Playoff teams are set-=-but some interesting games going on:

Blue Jays losing to Rays 11-6 in the 7th
Texas losing to the M's 1-0 in the 8th
Astros beating the Dbacks 6-0 in the 6th

if these results hold:
O's seeded 1st---bye
Astros wins the West and 2nd seed--bye
Twins win the Central: 3rd seed and play the 6th seed Blue Jays
Rays are 1st WC-4thb seed and host the 5 seed Rangers

if Rangers win their game, they win the West and the 2nd seed bye...this puts the Astros into the 5th seed vs the Rays

Blue Jays and Astros games today are pretty one-sided but that would flip their seeds if they both lose today as Toronto holds that tiebreaker

Boone ain't the problem in the Bronx. You can only trot out what the front office signs, and in NY, there's Cole and Judge, maybe Gleyber, followed by some steaming piles of yesterday's dog dinner. Boone tried the veterans, he tried the youngsters...none of it worked. This is a bad team, full stop. A one or two player tweak isn't going to change that. Not even Billy Martin could kick these knuckleheads into shape. Top that off with the fact that you're in a division with excellent organisations that are just hitting their strides and should be competitive for the next 5-7 years. If the Yankees want a division title before 2030, they'd best relocate to the AL Central.
On the upside, it is good to see Judge taking his captain's duties seriously and speaking up about the issues that need fixing. What does he have to lose?
