Today is September 7th. The Yankees are about to play the Blue Jays. Our hearts are back on the line, but first let's take some voicemails from you.

Let's do it. Let's talk... Yanks.

What's going on everybody? Thank you for tuning in to another episode of Talking Yanks. My name's Jimmy. Jake is in the studios in the Bronx. BBD is in the Bronx.

I'm coming from my apartment in Manhattan. So I'm not with Jake, but he's in the Roosevelt studios. RSVLTS. John Boy Media Headquarters. Jake, how are you doing?

Hello! Officer Jim. I'm doing well for now. I mean, we got the lineup that we asked for.

We'll see if there's any results from that. We're also facing one of the best pitchers in baseball. Probably one of the most underrated pitchers in baseball. So it could still be a tough day at the office.

But there's also slivers of hope. We hit the two-thirds marks. We're at 40 games. We got another 20 to go. We had a good first 20. We had a bad middle 20.

We could save it with another decent final 20 or just playing well against the blue jazze if we're being honest. So we'll see. Insert verbal meme. You know, Michael Giff ready to get a heartbroken again because there's a very good chance at 815 PM. You and I are texting each other saying this team's on watchable. But hopefully it's not. Hopefully they they turn a corner and they start doing it.

What times the game start tonight? It's what is it? It's 637. Oh shoot. It's 630. 637. Yeah. Damn. There was my dinner plans. Well, hey, if we're texting each other at 815, that means Monty had a good start in the bullpen blot. Yeah, maybe. Maybe could mean a lot of things.

815. Alright, we'll see how we are at 815. Let's go straight to the voicemails, BBD.

815 from Chicago. You just lost three out of four to Orioles. A lot of people are saying just, you know, get guys ready for the playoffs. Get guys ready for the playoffs. Make sure we're healthy. But that's really doesn't matter.

The Yankees lose to the Blue Jays and potentially don't make the playoffs or get eighth with the wild card spot because they just have to play the race who their mindset with the raises shit in the race destroy them this year.

So I think it's worse than that. I don't know. I don't know if you call it like a wash year. You really just hope these guys get back. What are your thoughts? Could I put you down in the dumps?

Yeah, welcome to the dumps. Thank you for calling in. You know, if you have to beat the raise in the playoffs, you have to beat the raise in the playoffs and hopefully they're healthy and that's a different squad. That's like the positive spin zone.

I don't know if you're going to have to beat the raise in the playoffs or get a spin zone. I don't know. We'll see. I mean, my bigger issue is can they actually come back and get healthy? That's.

That's the bigger question. You know, when it was one guy, you know, I got it. When I was saying that this season doesn't matter. Just wait for the playoffs. That was when everyone was healthy.

I was injured when I was really pushing that narrative hard. Now it's, it's a lot of people and we don't have a third starter. So I don't know. Jake, what do you got? I mean, I don't even know the question there. Just down in the dumps.

Yeah. Getting on injuries to yeah, praying that the guys get healthy and be good is hard and then being the eighth seed and potentially facing the raise is also shitty because.

Because the raise are good.

Yeah, couple things. Let's let's go glass have have empty, which is also called reality right now because it sucks when we're talking dumps.

I do the lap dance this weekend and 11 out of 10 and we should be talking about my dump truck but instead here we are focused on the Yankees again for whatever reason.

It's bad and Jim, I think the number one thing that sent you into a spiral is last year the whole thing was like, all right, you know what? Yeah. Yeah, we can wait for the last two weeks of the season to bring guys back and then we'll play with those guys and we'll be good.
