Do you not understand that Joe and I have a job to do? We have to deliberately disrespect all Yankee opponents and hype up the Yankees' chances so the Baseball Gods take it upon themselves to balance the scales. This is important work and we do it every year.

Maybe start talking about the Jays on the Poscast now? As one of your two Canadian fans, I've been disappointed by the neglect, which smacks of disrespect. @joeposnanski.com

Whew, when Vladdy Jr. is on it he’s just like his dad … no place to hide.

A guy who hit 55 home runs just faced a guy who hit 55 home runs, and that's just bananas.

Im pretty sure Kayfus purposely crowded the plate in the hopes of getting hit. And he got hit! Cleveland going to the playoffs in classic Guardians style.
