The Yankees swept the Red Sox on Tuesday, passing both the Red Sox and A's in the standings to currently hold the first-wild card spot. It's been a long climb back since the beginning of July following three months of wasted baseball from the Yankees, and today is a day to be happy. Happy, but not content, as the Yankees can still accomplish the goal of winning the division.

After losing the Field of Dreams game on Thursday, the Yankees won on both Saturday and Sunday to win the three-game series over the White Sox and finish the 2021 season 5-1 against the AL Central's best. The offense was present in all three games (20 runs scored), but the bullpen continues to be an unknown each day, something it can't be over the remaining 45 games.

After an improbable comeback in the top of the ninth, the Yankees lost the Field of Dreams game to the White Sox 9-8 on a two-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth. Zack Britton gave up the game-winning home run and took the loss, but the game was lost way before that. It was lost when the Yankees announced Andrew Heaney as the starting pitcher for the game.

The Yankees will play the White Sox this weekend without the following players and pitchers: Gary Sanchez, Anthony Rizzo, Gleyber Torres, Gio Urshela, Gerrit Cole, Jordan Montgomery, Domingo German, Aroldis Chapman and Clay Holmes. Aaron Hicks is out for the season, Luis Severino is still on his way back from Tommy John surgery and Corey Kluber hasn't started a game in nearly three months. If the Yankees were to get in the postseason and ever get healthy, they would have the best roster in the playoffs. But will they ever get healthy?

White Sox Dave of Barstool Sports joined me to talk about the upcoming three-game series, the Field of Dreams and the state of White Sox as they sit back and wait for October.

The Yankees won another game against a bad team, beating the Royals 8-6 in 11 innings on Monday. It shouldn’t be this hard to beat the Marlins, Orioles, Mariners and Royals, but the Yankees’ lack of offense combined with their bullpen meltdowns and managerial blunders are forcing every game to be a one- or two-run game.

Another game for the post-trade deadline Yankees and another win. The Yankees are now 6-1 since trading for Joey Gallo and Anthony Rizzo, and after Rizzo carried the team to a sweep in Miami, Gallo hit his first Yankees home run, a go-ahead, three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning on Thursday night. These Yankees are fun, but the winning can't stop, especially with a big weekend ahead.

The Yankees beat the Orioles in back-to-back games, won the three-game series and even scored double-digit runs two nights in a row. You could look at as the Yankees are finally playing up to their potential (12-6 since the All-Star break), winning as a result of their trade deadline acquisitions (5-1 since the deadline) or just beating up on bad teams (having won five of six against the Marlins and Orioles). Whatever it is, the Yankees are winning.

The Yankees finally won a laugher, scoring double-digit runs for just the fourth time in 106 games and winning their fourth game by more than two runs since the end of June with a 13-1 win over the Orioles. The offense exploded, Luis Gil looked like the Yankees' ace in place of him and Stephen Ridings came out throwing the way Dellin Betances used to. In addition to the Yankees' all-around performance, the Rays, Red Sox and A's all lost.

After the recap, Eric Arditti of Barstool Sports joined me to talk about the state of the Orioles in another lost season for the team.

The Yankees had their worst loss of the season not even two weeks ago when they blew a two-run, ninth-inning lead at Fenway Park to open a four-game series. Well, now they have their most embarrassing loss of the season. The Yankees were essentially shut down by the worst starting pitcher in all of baseball, getting three-hit by the Orioles and going 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position in a 7-1 loss.

Anthony Rizzo led the Yankees to a much-needed sweep of the Marlins over the weekend, and while the Yankees were winning in Miami, the Rays were sweeping the Red Sox in St. Petersburg. The Yankees now trail the Rays by six games in the loss column for the division, the Red Sox by four games for the first wild card and the A’s by one game for the second wild card. The Yankees’ next 10 games against the Orioles, Mariners and Royals are a chance for them to potentially hold a playoff spot by the end of next week.
