I'm not sure you understand the situation here, Yankees. You see, in order to clinch a playoff spot, we kind of need you to stop this whole "not winning games" thing. Granted, we actually can clinch a playoff spot without winning another game this season. I just think it would make everyone feel a lot better if you won and we didn't have to rely on other teams losing in order to get in. I'm pretty sure not giving up six runs in the first inning like Michael Pineda did yesterday would really help as well. In any case, just please try and win. Please?
Honestly though, the most important thing tonight is seeing how Masahiro Tanaka pitches after missing a few games due to the utter stupidity of interleague baseball. We'll see if they even get tonight's game against the Red Sox in though. They are calling for rain.Comments of the Day
There were no COTDs yesterday. Bummer.

It's Autumn Week on Pinstripe Alley. Sure, we're almost in October. Don't care. Any excuse to play more Cure songs. As always, please link us your song of the day.
Feel free to use this as your open thread for the day. Here's hoping Tanaka pitches well tonight. We could really use that spark of uplifting joy.
