There's not much to talk about as the Yankees slog through September. First place in the AL East should be a carrot that gives every game a sense of urgency, but it isn't.
Seth Lugo is the big concern keeping the Yankees from #28? Sure. Why not?
The Yankees might not face the Royals in the playoffs.
The Yankees might face the Royals and score six runs off Lugo in the first inning.
If WFAN hosts have a hunch that the Yankee offense will stall out again in the playoffs, I'm certainly on board with that concern.
I'm also concerned about the horrible defense, the goofy stuff like balks and wild pitches and HBPs, the inability to hit situationally if your name isn't Wells, GIDPs, and ineptitude with RISP.
The Yankees might HR their way out of their sloppy play and win a World Series.
The Yankees also have a good chance when the game is a battle of the bullpens.
Or they just might get lucky.
Or they just might get surprisingly good performances from mediocre players.
I'd be shocked beyond belief if the Yankees suddenly started playing crisp, smart "playoff" baseball in October.
