Could we possibly sweep the Rays to take the division?

What he does for the locker room as a teammate cannot be measured by stats!!!

We win more games than we lose and even if we do lose the Yankees can lose and we still win.

This is hell on earth compared to where we were a week ago but would you really rather be the Yankees going into tomorrow?

Man the Yankees have really taken care of business though. They needed to win all 6 and it looks like they’re on pace to do that. They’re bound to choke one though

There's 4 combinations of results that can happen tomorrow between us and the Yankees. We win the division with 3 of the 4.

Yes they have ,but at the same time,they are also lucky we lost Bo when we did,and bucks motivational insult gave them bulletin board motivation.

On paper we should be more favored to win tomorrow if Gausman and Kirk are out there...and the Orioles are running an actual good pitcher tomorrow...but on paper means **** when it's just 1 game to decide it all.

Does one of those combinations include Aaron Judge slipping on a banana peel?

The Jays control their own destiny. Don't even scoreboard watch, just win tomorrow and be done with it.

Hopefully John Schneider takes the game seriously and doesn't start IKF with a lefty on the mound.

They've been amazing but I'd still rather be us. 3 days ago I thought they may be in the 75% favorite spot.

Don't need a banana peel. Judge will probably choke tomorrow. But the Orioles are so bad it might not be enough.

Orioles have been pitching to Judge,and giving him meatballs.His hrs have been meatballs right down the middle.Same with Stanton.Maybe Vlad should watch their highlights.

Vlad should watch highlights of himself from 2021 and the second half of last year. He looks like the shell of a player he was 4 years ago, or even last year in the second half.
