In a last minute bonus episode, @mfacch23 & I discuss Game 1 of the ALDS and also look ahead.

The Yanks defeated the Indians in the WCS after a dominant Game 1 and a roller coaster Game 2. The bats were on fire but the pen not so much. It was a fun series but the Yankees are going to have to tighten up next week as they take on the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS. Job's not finished.

The Yankees finished up their regular season seven games worse than the division winning Rays, landing in second place at 33-27 (.550). It was very inconsistent and rough to watch at times. Hopefully they can turn the page against the Indians in the wildcard round this week, but we will see.

After winning 10 straight, the Yankees have lost four of their last five. They have three games remaining and still haven't clinched 2nd place. The bats are hot & cold, the defense is sloppy, and the pitching has regressed a tad. The Yankees have the Miami Marlins to host for the final three games at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees just took two more this past weekend at Fenway. The first two games were enough to clinch the series, while the Yankees also clinched playoff berth with Seattle's loss on Sunday. Later, @leo_rodriguez1222 and I discuss the NBA postseason, the NFL, and the UFC.

Not too long ago the Yankees were up in flames in the worst way possible. But now they're in flames in a much better way. This team is on fire at the moment, breezing through important divisional games with ease every night. With a vengeful sweep against Baltimore, and their latest cakewalk against the Blue Jays, the Bombers have now flipped the script by going from fourth place to second place within about a week. Right now they are in control of the Jays by 2.5 games with 10 games left of the regular season.

The Yankees found a bit of a rhythm. They took the final game of the Toronto series (in Buffalo), and then got revenge on the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium this weekend, sweeping them in four. The Bombers have now put themselves in a situation where they can fight for second place as opposed to the mediocre eighth seed.

The dreadful season continued this week in Buffalo for the Yankees, this time against the Jays. The Bombers took an egregious loss on Monday, surrendering 10 runs in one inning, and came back with a lifeless performance on Tuesday by scoring just once. They would win the final game of the set, but overall, the Yankees need to find some consistency soon.

The Yankees continued their disappointing season with a miserable series against Baltimore this past weekend. Things are as bleak as they've looked in a long while as the regular season continues to wind down. Diehard Yanks fan @ryanmcspedon & I discuss the state of the club.

The Yankees continue to get bitched by the Tampa Bay Rays. I am sick and tired of it. I am angry. Hear me roar.
