cano
this game is long
I want this game to end with a Yankees win so badly… I can’t take this any longer.
I am not a happy man right now.
Can that idiot at 2nd base field an easy ground ball? Now he can’t hit, can’t field. He has problems..
not Gaudin warming here…please. get out of this with no runs, please
Gotta put A-boo-boo on with the IBB
NGL, I think we lose it here. D-Rob would have to be SuperMan to hold them here.
cano, take off the hoodie you panzy and play baseball!!
cano
I’m running out of finger nails! literally.
What an atrocious game by Cano!
FYI, the Yanks have Gardner and Guzman leading off the bottom of the inning. If Robertson gives up this run it’s going to be very hard to come back.
I’d like to see you function out there in cold like that, 100 pitches.
Its definitely easy to be critical from behind your screen in your warm house.
I love Posada, but if he wasn’t such an idiot baserunner this game probably would be over. Cost it
for such a great team… we really do have players with some frustrating deficiencies
What a game.
Mr. Robertson pick up your teammates and get out of this.
Cano should be ashamed of himself. Plain and simple. Take off that GD ear muffs and play like a man.
Tomorrow is CC’s throw day right?
Cano strikes back in the bottom of the 13th
El Duque’s spirit your over 40, please stay w/ D-Rob here!
12 hits and only 3 runs. This game should be over if they could get a big hit.
Cano’s new name is the Matador. Slide over and get in front of the ball
i think ive gotten an ulcer from this game…..come on yankss
that was a scary swing by Hunter.
they really need to pick Cano up here…
can’t let that cost them the game.
So many routine misplays tonight. You just cannot miss balls like that in the postseason whatsoever. The Yankees defense has cost their pitchers so many pitches tonight.
Good feelings long gone.
Torii is overdue here.
Cano killed this inning.
NY24 – I agree with you!!
I have a feeling Hairston will be pinch hitting for Guzman… at least he should be after Guzman’s horrendous last at bat.
If we lose this I hope we go out there and take three in a row.
HeavyHitter,
Please tell me you’ve come to this thread. Who else can protect us from social injustices via comment thread?
Why did Joe burn Swish? Might need him to pitch…!
amazed at how many empty seats there now are…it saturday night people, where’re you going??
Come on Yanks
This is rediculous!!! How many opportunities are you gonna give this team!!!! Routine ground ball!!!!! Even If we win this was a horribly played game. Anyone else about to lose their mind, and nerves breakdown?
dont hang a curve!!!
Cano has been just awful…he is driving me crazy!
Why do so many posts think they are funny?
They are not and lack knowledge.
nice one Jose…no way Posada makes that stop
oh… wait?
Robertson is Superman. Highest strikeout rate in AL. I’m feelin’ goooooooooooood.
they can come out like that again?
defense is against us tonight.
Really Girardi?
Obviously you’re buying time.
wow that was lucky jorge, ya think you can go and block that ball next time?
haha, thank you – that was better
derek why are you such a jerk? is life so bad for you the only joy is to be mean? sad person you are.
there is no one left to pitch, Robertson…please keep it together
High FB inside…
you can come out for a medical visit and it doesnt count as a visit to the mound
I can’t even pick a goat of the game – if they lose, there are way too many options. Cano would be a good choice, making his pitchers throw extra pitches.
2 very nice stops by Posada.
C’mon D-rob.
Robertson is done.
Throw a GD strike
Does he send the runners?
Cano is definitely affected by the cold.
Last night he kept on clutching on to one of those handwarmers in the field. I was concerned that a ball was going to be hit at him and he would be holding on to that stupid handwarmer.
I am glad they walked Abreu to put another unner on base..Vlad on deck.
Football is on today. Who you got?
If they take the lead the game is over simply because of 2 of the 3 hitters being up next.
Honestly, get Gaudin in there. The probably of this game going another 3-4 innings is incredibly low. I would rather have a fresh arm in there than chance losing it now with a dead arm.
I bet Angels will get more more hit in this inning
Derek – I’ve got your back. Go Yankees!
No breaking balls in the dirt. Throw him your best fastball
Gotta love abreus attitude. Having fun still
Cano will probably go on a tear in Anaheim where it’s warmer. What a sissy.
One more, please. Please. I want to eat.
Great walking Abreu now put 2 guys in scoring position. I don’t like this match up.
Can you imagine if the Angels score a run here and then the Yankees score a run in the bottom of the 13th to tie it? and then we go to 14 innings?
please…one more out Robertson…one more out
This is not a good situation.
Fastballs inside…
Just don’t bounce any more balls in front of the plate, please.
i hope im wrong but i sense wild pitch
That hit and run is the difference right there between Girardi and Scioscia.
They have to throw him fastballs inside…
I have confidence in Robertson. He’ll get Vladdy.
Maybe cano choked because he’s nervous Betsy will select him as the goat of the game?
Mel..go eat already!!! its bad to starve your stomach!
C’mon get this and build some momentum!
“Great walking Abreu now put 2 guys in scoring position.”
It didn’t help either that he ran the count full, allowing the runners to start.
High please.
if we get Vlad, I think we’ll win it this inning.
Good lord, this game is intense.
Vlad is history. Ancient history.
PHEW!!!
lets end this madness!
OH GOD THAT KID HAS BALLS! HE HAS BALLS OF STEEL!
m
October 18th, 2009 at 12:59 am
One more, please. Please. I want to eat.
I want to puke
This is too much. I dont like baseball anymore
13 is our lucky number.
Now I get nervous on all balls to Cano.
Thanks Robbie!
will Girardi actually use Hairston now?
Nice, they get out of ANOTHER jam. Too bad Gardner and Guzman are leading off the inning.
David Robertson=Big Game Pitcher
DirectTV and Black Eyed Peas are gettin their money’s worth!!
robertson HAS to be ahead of aceves on the depth chart
You know what this game reminds me of?
1995 ALDS Game 2.
Anyone?
lol @ Cano. He didn’t want to make an error.
Please, please, score. I’m tired of this Fergie/Will.I.am commercial.
I think there was a point early this year when Arte Moreno said he had to take care of Vlad when his contract was up.Wonder how he feels now?
Fergie is hideous.
the 25th man on the roster is going to be the difference tonight!
Yankees outlast Angels and win it in 13th as Gardner gets the Pie in the face. Book it.
Wow, just have to pray Guzman or Gardner can find a way to get on. 2 strike bunt anyone???
Wow, Cano fielded a ball cleanly!
if the Yanks win now, it has Yankee classic written all over it!!!
END THIS ALREADY!
Good for D Rob.
No way Guzman hits again. He is a pinch-runner. That’s it.
That has to be it for Robby – can’t push him with his recent elbow issues. That means it’s Gaudin for however long………
Where is Hairston? Did someone check the attic?
Vlad is just terrible right now. He might actually find himself out of a job next season.
But anyhow…let’s go Freddy Guzman!! Or Hairston…
who can hit a HR here?
been trying to change into my pj’s since I got home in the 8th inning…do you think it’s ok to change now?
Imback –
your schtick is sad dude. Just leave Betsy alone. Seriously.
you come on the internet and pick on someone?
you are one tough guy!
maybe the guys are afraid of getting pied because the whipped cream is frozen
Vlad is the most unclutch player I’ve ever seen.
Score
A
Run
Big Six, I said that a few innings ago. Who is this game’s Jim Leyritz?
Robertson is probably done. If they don’t score Gaudin is next.
Great job by Robertson….Cano will atone for his E-4′s tonight this inning…..Classic Playoff game….
YES! I’d hit the $hit out of Fergie in that commercial! (looking at my gf sleeping on the couch)
Baseball’s not supposed to be this stressful right?
Mr. Cano gets pie perhaps?
Sam, can you please ask Girardi why he didn’t run for Posada in the 12th? Hairston may have made it to second, and then scored on the Damon hit. What else was the point of having 3 catchers?
GreenBeret7
October 18th, 2009 at 12:55 am
Not sure what happened to Cano, because it was an easy play. I guess he thought the ball was going to bounce higher and it just didn’t come up high enough. Whatever, it was badly timed.
None of the errors have cost a run. So shove it with the whining. Where was the complaints about Jeter booting the easy play? Without Cano’s triple, this game was over 4 innings ago.
Wow, look how cold Michael J. Fox looks in that commercial. Did they shoot that outside?
i just woke up with my face in a bowl of spaghetti
are we still tied???
Dear Yankees Offense:
Please have mercy on your hardcore fans and score a run in this bottom inning so we can get our heartbeats back to normal and celebrate a great win.
Thanks in advance,
Yanks_Fan
Come on fast runners get on base.
They had plenty of opportunities, Posada didn’t “cost it”
Relax they’re still in this
Nice Job Robertson
Yeah, I think the Yankees are secretly playing to lose because they don’t want Burnett chasing them around trying to pie them.
Hairston is up…..Come on…Let’s go YANKEE’s!!
Hairston who hasn’t had an at bat in years.
Hairston = Boone
I’ll say it again, no matter what happens here
DAVID ROBERTSON HAS BALLS!! BALLS THE SIZE OF BEACH BALLS, BALLS OF STEEL!
Where was Hairston a couple of innings ago? Odd!
about time, Hairston is being used!!!
Can you imagine how bitter Tim McCarver’s twitter updates would be?
Tough to see why Aceves was used in this game before Robertson was.
Robertson has become a tremendous relief pitcher.
For him to pick up Cano and the entire team that way is just fantastic.
Hinske has the rally cap!
why is Guzman not bunting, the grass is wet and he can’t hit.
Cano needs to atone with his bat somewhere, somehow.
PLEASE END THIS ALREADY!!!!
lets get this done!!
yeah JHJr!!
Jeff –
Man, that’s tough…I think we wrap it all the way around to Damon again, and he wins it.
you have to bunt him over here…
Nice job JHJ.
oh my god a hit
love me some angel hairston pasta!! corny, sorry
Miguel Cairo wears Jerry Hairston Jr. PJs!
Halos, hot water…
Dave Robertson recovers…
Gotcha Guerrero!
GGBG with a drag bunt?
Jerry Hairy!
I mean, what happens if Gaudin slips and gets hurt. There is no one to bring in for him ………….even managers in All-Star games manage better than this. They always leave one guy in the pen just in case.
So Betsy can’t take it when someone counters her negative posts with their own? Needs a man to defend her? Who is the chauvinist now?
Jerry !!!!!!
Come on now .
90 feet X 3.
Hey look, this green beret guy is talking to himself.
ok – so can hairston run, here?
please Yankees PLEASE end this game. please let me go into the night in peace.
Now, steal third.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!
Cano can make up for his mistakes right here
Prediction: Guzman never gets another at-bat this year (7 wins to go, soon to be 6!)
Ball move of the night: Cervelli to pinch hit for Cano
Small ball ay? Ok, 2 chances to win it with Cano and Cabrera.
180 feet left.
Robbie stroke one.
bru – thanks for the laugh – you just made me wake up my kids
Cano of course hahahahaaha
yeah brett! come on robby!
DAMMIT!

He’s the internet version of Deon Saunders. “You’re a real man, Deon.”
I’m breaking out my old softball cheers: ” We want a single just a little single S I N G L E single single single”
Melky, then Posada…
Melky with a gapper
That was a terrific bunt by gardner off a guy who throws hard.
No DP, no flyouts, none of that b.s., just one sudden death hit. Please!
Melky, PLEASE END THIS!!
or at least try to get on, and GIVE JETER THE PIEEEEE!!
We have one pitcher left. We need to end this game this inning. No offense to Gaudin, but my faith just isn’t there.
HAHA! Cano his horrible with RISP. Melky gonna get the PIE!!!!!
Melky is the Pie leader this year isn’t he?
You can’t PR for Posada – the lineup is already extremely thin.
melky melky!!
Come on Clutchy Cabrera!
MELKY! MELKY! MELKY!
WOW … Loooong night for Sam Bore-dom. Where is the new guy Cal Jergens to help out???
Melkman
Jeter
this one is over!
Melky will definitely get all curveballs here.
“I mean, what happens if Gaudin slips and gets hurt. There is no one to bring in for him.”
This is the most ridiculous post of the night.
I sense it. Melky’s the hero!
Melky, try to drag bunt??
Please Melky ! End it !
Walking Cano to get to Cabrera. He’s the Andre Ethier of the AL!
Hairston gets on base…
Hair-raising time for Halos!
Must deal with Melky!
forgot Posada
The original pie man !
Betsy. You are a moron. No manager manages a playoff game to play in the 14 th. Please take another tip from Dear Abby on how to meet a man. The ” joining a sports blog” one has not panned out.
MELKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEEEAAAAAAAA! Yanks win.
YESSSSSSS
YEah thats what I’m talking about!!!!
Didn’t I tell you guys, to BOOK it??
AJ GET THE PIES!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET THE PIE FOR MELKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo!!!!!! I love it
ANGELS ERRORSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Holy Smokes! Holy Smokes!
OMGosh!
Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’ll take it
Pie!!!!
Feels good huh?
Game over…Yankees win, THEEEEEEEEE Yankees win!
I’m so happy for Hairston!! His first postseason game ever and he scores the winning run!
I LOVE MY NEW YORK YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
INSANE
That was a holy $#!+ win, thanks to another errror!
Yes! Now I can eat!!!!
But I think I’ll have some pie for dessert first.
thank you Maicer for ending this!!
Thank you god!!
Yankees win!
Did Hairston get hurt?
Thank you !
Finally! Freaking Finally!
Izturis deserves pie.
Well, not the way I expected, but Aybar could use a little humility.
I have a very important question, who gets the pie on that one, no one right?
There are no ugly wins.
How many games has AJ started and then been able to give a Pie?
Robertson has 2 wins!
Izturis, excuse me.
If Figgins picks that up he has a chance doesn’t he.
thank you. now i can sleep in peace
Wow !!! Pie time!!!
Yessssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hairston totally choked on that high five
Do we pie Izturis?
the MAGICAL season continues!!!
6 wins to go!!!
A.J. got his no-decision win again, too.
Hairston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long would have the game gone if it was the error? Five o clock in the morning?
Hairston got pied!!
Great pick by Burnett to give Hairston pie.
Were goin allll the way!!
YES!!! 2-0 yankees!
Alex should get one, too.
Jerry got the Pie on an error
Is Rosenthal a midget?
Hey they pied Hairston? I don’t think AJ was watching the game!
My letter worked! But all the praise to Erica, who magically channeled me to write it!
Tiring but amazing win!
all that fundamental baseball for nothing!!!
I am so sick!
I am so tired!
But I do not care! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just keep your college/high school cheers coming.
PS. Don’t forget your bottoms the next time.
Classic Yankees baseball. Heroics by their superstars, capitalize on other team’s mistakes.
instant yankee classic
If they give Hairston the pie, then they have to retroactively give Teix the pie for the Castro game dont’ they? If I were Teix I’d file a grievance with the Kangaroo court.
Finally, we can have a Yankees postseason classic in HD. Lol.
does anyone found it odd that half of the walk off wins came from AJ’s starts?
The errors and missed opportunities mean just a little less right now.
Jeff…there was no game winning hit, but an error, which Hairston scored the winning run.
Jeff NJ
October 18th, 2009 at 1:10 am
Hey they pied Hairston? I don’t think AJ was watching the game!
———————————-
Pie goes to the runner?
I’m glad Hairston got the pie – Alex was the hero tonight, but Hairston must feel sooooooooo good
the steel reserve…it tastes so good!
nice one KSV
Yes Ed. And you know what it is. DESTINY
6 more to go!
Love the graphic on Fox with the WWE belt with they NY logo in the center.
Pie goes to the runner?

Internet over, you win.
This is a special team guys… Enjoy what you are watching this Postseason, because we may not see a team like this in a long time.

October 18th, 2009 at 1:09 am
Do we pie Izturis?
—————————————————-
hahaahahahahhaahah yes
Easy 2nd guess but Joe should have pinch hit Hairston for Guzman two innings earlier.
Pitching to Melky over Cano was stupid, even though Melky didn’t exactly get a hit. I guess Scoiscia figured that Tex was due over Arod earlier. Now he figured that Cano was due also. He was playing the percentages I guess.

______________________________________________________________
Ahh that was an old school chant. Learned that one in 2nd grade
Can anyone doubt the value of Melky Cabrera? That’s another ab where his post season average will go down yet it helped the Yankees win a game. Melky is a player who should never been looked at by the numbers.
Amazing game. Instant classic. Now time for some post game analysis. Where is the new guy Craig Jersey to help out Sam Bore-dom???
Yanks cross country flight is going to be a little more enjoyable now.
“Pie goes to the runner”
Definitely the quote of the night.
gotta feel good for jerry first postseason at bat and ends up getting pie
I think they should make a “Angels in the Outfield 2″ movie and this time it should be based on the 2009 New York Yankees.
Give a lot of credit to Dave Robertson. He picked up Cano and the entire team with his pitching in the top of the inning. After Cano’s mistake the angels didn’t square anything up. Just a tremendous job.
In the past the yankees have struggled to find players on the bench. Because the team is so deep it’s been hard to get good players on the bench because they’re just not going to play much.
Hairston was terrific this year in that role and pays off big returns here.
And what can you say about Alex. Just unbelievable.
The yankees right now have hands down the best starting pitcher and position player of any team still playing baseball. And that is in addition to of course having the best relief pitcher.
This was not a great game by any means, but in the end, the only thing that matters is that we won!
Me so happy.
Absolutely mind-blowing game. I love baseball and I LOVE MY YANKEES! #27 on its way.
MLB Network thinks the Angels lost these two due to all of the extra clothing…come on.
I just cant get over this season…
just when you think it can’t get any crazier/better… it does!!
Destiny in 09
We have to win one of the games in LA.
Ervin Santana gives upthe run.Guess not all starters can be relievers.
100 pitches of fun, I think Scioscia went by the numbers and Cano had two hrs off of Santana and Melky none. I doubt anyone in NY would have done the same thing. That’s why it pays to have good scouts.
it went to hairston because it’s hard to pie a fielder’s choice by melky.
official pie-ers decision:
hairston deserved it.
heads up base running.
melky makes things happen
I wonder if the Yanks are flying to Cali tonight or tomorrow? I would assume tomorrow. Hopefully the Angels can afford the hotel room lol
Yankees hold serve. Need to keep their boots on Angels’ throats. These are not the Twins.
pie…… How sweet it is !!!
did anyone mention that if figgins actually picks the ball up there would have been a play at the plate?
Check out Michael Kay’s fancy hat
Both teams played sloppy, left a small village on the bases. Just a matter who would make the error/mistake that cost the game.
“Finally, we can have a Yankees postseason classic in HD. Lol.”
ALDS Game 2 vs. The Twins gives a friendly wave.
http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.....id=6261176
6.15am here in the UK. Not much point going to bed.
Woooooot.
Well all they need to do is win 2 out of 5
Or not lose 4 out of 5 if you want to look at it that way.
SO relieved right now. Was not feeling a split (who was right?) and headin to LA for 3 games.
NYY has made very few if any mental errors in tis post season. As Randy said earlier, these errors could be partially attributed to the cold, but, that last play was more mental. NYY out-Angeling the Angels again.
did anyone mention that if figgins actually picks the ball up there would have been a play at the plate?

I did Boston Dave
http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/m.....id=6350584
Mlb.com has a press room for people that dont have yes.
Great job by D-Rob – he’s truly grown up this year. What a find they have in him…….he may take over the 8th next year.
I love Jerry Hairston, Jr – what a terrific pickup. Very underrated signing by Cash – along with Hinske.
Man, the Angels…….but I wonder if we should give these guys a break. They played in just miserable conditions.
2-0. Nice
I still cant get over ARod’s HR in the 9th.
I mean… could he be having a better, more clutch, post season??
Isturis is a moron. If he gets the runner at second then Melky steals second anyway and it’s still second and third.
I swear I saw Melky tell the dugout to go get some pie ready when they started walking Cano.
What a game.
Ch 7 sucks for breaking away on sattelite and I didn’t see the pie.
Definitely the quote of the night goes to pie goes to the runner.
When this game began, I got in my car in Ringwood, NJ.
Throughout the game, I drove (mostly in the rain) to a friend’s house in McLean VA.
I listened to John and Susan on WCBS all the way. The signal had weak moments, but I heard them all the way to Virginia, where I watched the end of the game.
What an amazing Yankees experience, especially because we won!
The Ghost,
it seems like that still got overlooked. It’s practically an error in of itself….
Wow, MLB giving credit to the umps for making that call at 2nd where Aybar didn’t touch it. They said what CB said – the kid learned a lesson
some of these international reporters are really funny to listen to
“did anyone mention that if figgins actually picks the ball up there would have been a play at the plate?”
BD,
Absolutely. I saw that as well. Hairston slowed down rounding third to pick up the play and then had to accelerate.
Figgins just picked up the ball and dropped it. If he at least picks it up clean the play at the plate would have been close.
There were two mistakes by the angels on that play – they weren’t equal but Figgins didn’t help in any way.
new post
whats the record for most game thread posts?
we’re over 3500 I believe…
Pete who??
go Yanks!!!
Hopefully the Yanks bats wake up in the hot weather. I think that they will.
Now how can I get to sleep tonight after that (fortunately) incredible win? I am so jacked up from watching it come so close all those innings only to fold, and then watch the Angels do it too.
Wow. What a battle. That has to be a very tough one to lose for the Angels.
Ynkees – Dodgers Fall Classic coming up. #27 will be sweet.

I’m still laughing at that
Boston Dave, Alex is carrying this team on his shoulders. I don’t ever want to hear anyone, fan or mediot alike, say anything anymore about this guy.
Being up 2-0 is big. With the next 3 in Anaheim, just win 1 game (2 of course would win it) they just have to win 1 game come back up 3-2. And I can see them doing it.
Cano needs to stop being a muppet…and play ball
What a outstanding pen we have
Mystique and Aura have entered the building.
Boston Dave, yes I agree, that’s the second error of ommission that Figgins has made in this series.
Betsy,
I agree.
He really is carrying them on his back offensively.
Their pitching has been RIDICULOUS too!!
I’m glad the ump’s call on Aybar did not decide the game, although it was the correct call. Now everyone’s on notice.
What would we do with out Arod? I just hope he can stay hot…

————-
He’s definitely taking the pressure off of Tex.
A-Rod was overwhelmed by New York. Now he isn’t. Enjoy.
Girardi pushed all the right buttons. I think it’s time to give him some props.
I know Cano had a bad game, but looking at those plays and the Angels error that cost the game, you know the conditions out there were pretty poor.
Its cold and raining. Think about how stiff you get in that weather. It is really tough. Its not meant as an excuse, but it seems there is some reason for the problems he had.
Alex is just incredible with how well he is playing in this post season. Just think if Teixeira gets going along with him.
More frustrating was seeing all the grounding into double plays.
AJ was good except for that one inning, and yet he still held it together. I was impressed that he didn’t blow out.
BTW, how can anyone put a hat on as ugly as Kay’s is and think “yeah, I look fine with this on”?

_________________
Yes, but some of that was tight run. Fortunately Santana was pretty poor, too bad he isn’t starting in one of these games. The pen was down to Gaudin, which isn’t very comforting.
I had a feeling, judging by how both sides were doing a poor job on offense that this could go late. I was concerned that he didn’t use some of the relievers a little longer.
It still came down to winning on an error.
=Yankees are still the only undefeated team in postseason.
-AJ’s implosion in the 5th was the cause of this marathan game.

Actually, Saunders and AJ ended their games with the same results, Saunders went deeper, so John Flahtery’s slight edge seems about right. Very slight, and only by length.
He never did the evaluation with Santana in the equation.
That said, you are right that you shouldn’t pick against the Yankees.
