And I want to make clear, it's not important because they're playing the Houston Astros.

The fact that playing the Houston Astros to me is irrelevant.

It doesn't mean anything.

The fact that they're going to play the Detroit Tigers next week, irrelevant.

It doesn't mean anything.

Obviously, the head-to-head with Boston and Toronto,ibly important when it comes to making up ground on Toronto.

They're obviously in a battle with the Boston Red Sox.

So this stretch of games are just being defined as, ooh, let's see if the Yankees can beat a good team.

It doesn't matter.

Here's what matters.

Very simple to me.

Can they win three more games than the Toronto Blue Jays do over the course of the rest of this season and win the American League East?

That's it.

Right.

That's it.

Like proving yourself against good teams, which I know is this huge deal that Yankee fans have made such a big thing about. Sean nuts when they lost to the Red Sox. They can't beat anybody. They're not going to be able to beat anybody. Just like when the Nick fans freaked out that they couldn't beat the Celtics. It doesn't mean anything. Of course, because ultimately when it mattered in the postseason, you beat them. Exactly. And that's likely what's going to have to be the occasion for the Yankees this year. And I don't believe they can't. Of course not. I mean, why would you think that they can't? Because they haven't. And then last year they went to the World Series. Now, they had a smooth or grooved path to get there because of the teams that they had to play in the divisional round and in the in the ALCS but still it's the postseason

anything can happen for this Yankees team even though it's discouraging to think that they

have the ability to do it i understand that when you play the astros it is personal you want to

beat them yeah but does it matter it doesn't know honestly i look this schedule, and here's my thought process. It's all about the American League East. They are alive in this division because the Toronto Blue Jays, and I have said this over and over again. You were away last week. I was away for a few days, too. Don't get me wrong. But I was talking to Sean, and I'm like, bro, the Blue Jays have been kind of mediocre all year.

They had one hot streak.

Let's pipe that. I was away for a few days, too. Don't get me wrong. But I was talking to Sean, and I'm like, bro, the Blue Jays have been kind of mediocre all year.
