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.

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.
