Monday was a goldbricker’s delight for Yankee fans. Matt B, a longtime Banterite, actually offered me a ticket, but I couldn’t make it, dammit. Anyhow, as you already know, it was a dream afternoon as our man Aaron Judge hit a couple more dingers—49 and 50!—tying and then passing Big Mac for the rookie home run record.
Happy?
Three game series vs. the Rays starts tonight. Final stretch. Let’s pad those stats and stay healthy and get ready for the do-or-die game against the Twinkies.
Never mind the Indian Summer:

Ugh ... is The Hammer ok?
Looks like it
A rare Toe walk. Remember this moment
11 in 300+ at bats ... that's pretty amazing!
Good, let’s pick up a game on the Cheat Sox
And I’ll take that as well.
SWEEP. THE. LEG.
Well, not really ... let's just hope for a decent outing from Betances.
One down
Two down
Three down! Night all
That'll do pig, that'll do ...
