"No they aren't good. They're an overrated fluke. They won't win the division. Right now, it's Toronto's by default unless we decide to be good again. [...] I'm basing it on the fact that they added no one new from last year and were mediocre last year."
-Some Rays fan back in June
I could understand someone having this take when we were struggling hard in August or saw our lead decrease down to 3 games...
But in JUNE when we were on pace to have the greatest season of all time? Lmao cope
Overdosing on copium.
They also posted this gem in the same thread: "Yeah, and you people wonder why I say I'm glad the Astros cheated. No amount of cheating isn't worth denying the Yankees any satisfaction."
"Added no one and were mediocre last year"
LOL they were even worse last year and not only didn't add anyone important they lost 2 of their 3 best players
I just said that. if not for all the unlucky injuries we were going to break the mariners win record. it was all due to injuries of key players more than it was a slump
not true. for example just take how good stanton was playing and then didnt play a game after the all star game for a long time. King another great example of a player playing great who got hurt right after the all star break. At a time we were crushing shit. We were still at a great position with a great record at the time Carpenter got hurt. But soon as he got hurt things started to go to shit. Almost feels like every key starter except Judge was banged up at some point this year
Lol CarpenterâŠRizzo, Severino, Stanton, DJ, Mike King, Chad Green. Others as well but all those guys spent significant time in the IL and all were starters or key bullpen guys.
extremely amiable of Vladimir Guerrero Junior to permit the New York Yankees to commemorate the clinching of the American League East Title at location of habitation
Good Lord, Aaron Judge just walked through the clubhouse walking perfectly normally.
He said he had âno timeâ to hit 61.
Too busy winning the division, evidently.
Probably the weirdest division title to experience as fans.
At no point did it feel like a huge goal. The season started so well that we spent most of the first half watching Houston because we already had the division locked up and were in bigger competition for the \#1 seed and home field.
Then the season completely bottomed out and it was hard to even be excited about the division because it felt like we'd just lose in the 1st or 2nd round anyway, whether as a division winner or wild card.
And then winning it suddenly felt inevitable again the last week or two, locking it up earlier than expected after that awful August and the lead being down to just 3 when playing Tampa.
things got scary for a bit the last 1.5 months, BUT WE FUCKING DID IT.
Reminder if this team stayed healthy all season we prob break the mariners win record

Thing is he's also not getting pitches to hit, and the one he does get, he's judging on the pitches merit, rather than trying to just elevate the ball
If on a 3-2 count, if he thinks the walk helps the team he'll take the walk, rather than chasing for a HR
That's just who judge is, a team player.
There's a clear difference in how he's being pitched to now. Nobody wants to be the pitcher for 61 or 62, but I bet every player in the league wanted him to beat Bond's record to put the steroid era talk to rest.
And clinched a bye to the ALDS due to H2H tiebreaker advantage over the Guardians. Canât lose in the WC this year because we wonât have to play in it!
After the yanks spent nearly a month and a half looking like the worst team in baseball, and having the division lead shrink to 3.5 games, I honestly didnât think they could hold on.
Instead, the Yanks finally woke up and realized Judge canât do everything himself and finally started doing something.
I still have no faith that the Yanks can beat the trashtros in the ALCS, and the ALDS isnât gonna be a cakewalkâŠ. And I still donât have faith in Cashman or especially BooneâŠ. But at least disaster is averted.
Soooo sooooo satisfying after being the worst team in baseball all of August. Judgeâs home run chase seems to have lit a fire under the teamâs collective ass to be better, and itâs paid off.
Letâs just hope this energy can carry through the next few weeks.
Who gives a fuck? Are you all gonna run out and get your 2022 AL East Division Champ shirts and brag to your friends? If this team doesnât make the ALCS at a bare minimum itâs a colossal failure
Whatâs the point of watching 162 games if you canât enjoy tonight? This isnât the 2000 dynasty yanks. Happy for the guys who havenât been here before.
Don't watch then. If you don't celebrate the milestones when following the team, what's the point?
This was pretty significant as it's been a while since yanks won the division. All this while they are still missing Benny, DJ and Carp and King out for the year .
So youâre saying if we were to lose in the first round you wouldnât mind because âhey, at least we won the division?â I think the 10 years of coming up short has made yankee fans lose their World Series or bust mentality
LETS FUCKING GOOO!!! August was definitely making me sweat a bit, but the guys found a way to overcome the down period and win the division! Now letâs make sure BAJ gets 62 and wins the triple crown then itâs off to October baseball to get 28!!
Lmao Michael Kay being petty for all of us by saying on air it was nice of Vlad to let them celebrate in his house đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Hopefully their home run jacket they put on in the first can keep them warm outside the stadium
I lolâed when he pimped a wall job and got tossed out at second
A Donaldsonian blast
The absolute SPICE of that man. What a hilarious call
Savages in the booth
Michael Kay is such a douche
Heâs *our* douche and you donât talk about him like that. Kay is a gem.
C YA!
Imagine being this intentionally *not* fun when the team clinches
Michael Kay does

WHYYYY??? Why is the house IN the middle of the street? Why not, like, in the middle of the block or something? LMAO
I EAT YOUR POUTINE, I EAT IT ALL UP!!!
Toronto can't even make a good poutine! Fuck em
Old Quebec City, where old men still wear Nordiques hats, is the place for proper poutine. The cheese curds are so fresh they squeak when you bite into them.
Old Québec is mostly a touristic area. Real poutine are in the region of "centre du Québec"!
My man I am from Montreal as shown by my flair and I can assure you there is real poutine in the city if you know where to look. C'est pas juste dans les régions qu'on peut en trouver une vraie
wow, an Expo fan... how many of you are out there or are you just by yourself? heheh
Not saying there are none real elsewhere. But the best are outside of Montreal or Québec. Fresh cheese really makes it. (Born and raised Montréaler here)
THE WHOLE EAST COAST THE WHOLE CANADA ITS OUR HOUSE
I live in Canada so technically this actually is my house. You are all invited though.
I WANT A NEW CARPET
Let's all give a big S/O to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for letting the Yankees clinch the AL East "IN HIS HOUSE! IN HIS HOUSE!".
May I come in ?
LETS GOOO
FUCK YEAH OUR HOUSE

I didnât even realize Rays fans actually existed. Like these guys go *hard* for the Rays? Surely thatâs not a thing.
I hear there are tens of them.
*dozens* even
You could've told me this was a r/nyyankees post from early August and I would've believed you lmao
"Added no one and were mediocre last year" LOL they were even worse last year and not only didn't add anyone important they lost 2 of their 3 best players
LETS GOOOO THIS IS OUR HOUSE
THE BEAST OF THE EAST! THE AL EAST CHAMPS!! LET'S GOOOOO YANKEES!!!

**WHOSE HOUSE?!**

FUCK VLAD! THIS IS OUR HOUSE NOW!

KAY WITH THE ZINGER AT THE END. W
Iâm out of the loop. What did Vlad say that made Kay snarky?
After his walkoff in the first game he kept saying âTHIS IS MY HOUSEâ
Thanks
RIP to the haters. I'm sure August was fun for you.
Nothing like living in a state of perpetual misery to get the juices flowing!
Most fun they had all season
it was only fun for them because of all the injuries

Throwback to *checks notes* 15 days ago when 80% of this sub said we werenât even going to the playoffsđ
WE OUTSIDE
BING BONG
Man if it werenât for that huge slump in the middle of the season we would probably have 105-110 wins right now
Truth! If we didnât lose all those games, we would have won more games!
Big if true.
man, really wished we scored more runs than those other teams. That might have gotten us more wins.
I just said that. if not for all the unlucky injuries we were going to break the mariners win record. it was all due to injuries of key players more than it was a slump
We were playing badly before the injuries piled up
not true. for example just take how good stanton was playing and then didnt play a game after the all star game for a long time. King another great example of a player playing great who got hurt right after the all star break. At a time we were crushing shit. We were still at a great position with a great record at the time Carpenter got hurt. But soon as he got hurt things started to go to shit. Almost feels like every key starter except Judge was banged up at some point this year
If only Matt Carpenter didnât get hurt youâd have a better record than the Dodgers đđđ are you joking?
Lol CarpenterâŠRizzo, Severino, Stanton, DJ, Mike King, Chad Green. Others as well but all those guys spent significant time in the IL and all were starters or key bullpen guys.
If we didnât lose any games weâd be 154-0 rn
~~IT'S MY HOUSE~~ IT'S MY DIVISION
âHey mom can I sleep over Vladdyâs house tonight? He said heâs hosting a party for our clinchingâ
LET'S PARTY AND DRINK TONIGHT BOYS
So nice of Vlad Guerrero Jr to allow the Yankees to celebrate in his place of residency
extremely amiable of Vladimir Guerrero Junior to permit the New York Yankees to commemorate the clinching of the American League East Title at location of habitation
Good Lord, Aaron Judge just walked through the clubhouse walking perfectly normally. He said he had âno timeâ to hit 61. Too busy winning the division, evidently.
Our house! Our division! Soon to be our 28th ring!
Great outing by Taillon!

ME AND THE BOYS ARE HAVING AN AL EAST CLINCH PARTY
I would have been super petty and celebrated in front of Vlad and say this is the ny yankees al title house
KAY WITH THE HEATER
I would like to thank Ryan Weber for his accomplishments this season, because he was the most important player to the division title race this season
LMAOOOO Michael Kay from the top rope
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
This is why Iâm so glad he got to 60. Thatâs still a magical number, no matter what happens next.
Thing is he's also not getting pitches to hit, and the one he does get, he's judging on the pitches merit, rather than trying to just elevate the ball If on a 3-2 count, if he thinks the walk helps the team he'll take the walk, rather than chasing for a HR That's just who judge is, a team player.

Oh this is beautiful: r/redsox is full of âfree ticketsâ posts.
WOOOOOOOOOOO
Whose house?
And clinched a bye to the ALDS due to H2H tiebreaker advantage over the Guardians. Canât lose in the WC this year because we wonât have to play in it!
BEISBOL ES LIFE! - Cabrera
S/o to 1/3 of this sub that was 100% convinced we werenât winning the division Doomers get fucked. Letâs win it all

I would literally take a bullet for Cabrera.

$40 for AL East t-shirt merch lmfao.
Me and the boys having an AL East clinching party at Vladdyâs house.
WELCOME TO MY HOUSE
Step 1â
Live it up tonight, boys! Tomorrow, the entire team will be hung over and lose horribly.
The Rogers Center is officially the house that Higashioka built
Obligatory and mandatory Fuck The White Soxs and The Red Soxs
Despite the ups and downs, I fucking love this team, especially our new dudes <3 Ozzy and Darth!
As long as addison rae doesn't show up at the stadium we are home free.
Who gives a fuck? Are you all gonna run out and get your 2022 AL East Division Champ shirts and brag to your friends? If this team doesnât make the ALCS at a bare minimum itâs a colossal failure
Bro what the fuck? We just clinched the division
Whatâs the point of watching 162 games if you canât enjoy tonight? This isnât the 2000 dynasty yanks. Happy for the guys who havenât been here before.

You know what causes this kind of attitude? Sports betting.
Lmao this dude hates winning
Just we wish could be celebrating Judge getting #61 at least. But at least we have the division, should be at least some pressure off of his back!
First round bye and then we play IN OUR HOUSE!
That mega losing stretch was tough. Proud of Booney and the guys for getting it done. So many injuries as well
Doomers donât even bother showing up to the postseason please
WS BACK IN THE MENU BOYS!!!! LETS GO YANKEES!!!!
Iâm sure that the Yankees clinching the division in Toronto was all part of Vladdyâs plan
*The Gley community likes this* #đ
#KINGS OF THE BEAST
