Yankees Look Unstoppable Right Now

Will anything cool down the Yankees? Right now the answer is no. The Yankees remained red hot on Thursday night, pounding the Chicago White Sox in a 15-7 thrashing at US Cellar Field in Chicago.

Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson all led the way for the Bombers with huge offensive nights in the victory. Judge went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the victory; Donaldson went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI, while Stanton had the best night of them all going 3-for-4 with two home runs and six RBI.

In fact three of the four top home run hitters in baseball are in pinstripes with Aaron Judge leading the way with 11 bombs, with Stanton and Anthony Rizzo both tied for third in the league with nine homers. Stanton's six RBI's gave him 28 on the season, tying him with the Mets' Pete Alonso for the league lead.

Stanton's two-run homer in the top of the first inning set the tone for the evening. The White Sox would find a way to scratch out three runs against Yankees starter Luis Gil, but New York quickly tied it in the top of the third inning on a RBI triple by Rizzo.

Stanton followed with another two-run bomb to put the Yankees up 5-3. Judge would hit his home run in the seventh to put the Yankees up 7-4.

The Yankees pen couldn't hold it however. A three-run bomb by Chicago's Juan Moncado tied the game at seven, forcing New York to work some late inning magic.

In the eighth inning with runners in scoring position, Judge hit a slow roller to short stop which he beat out on the throw to first. Scoring initially on the play was Marwin Gonzalez. Right behind him was Gleyber Torres who caught the White Sox sleeping on the late throw by first baseman Jose Abreu to put the Bombers up 9-7.

Stanton would follow with a RBI single to drive in Judge. Donaldson put the capper on the night when he launched a three-run homer into the night sky to put the Yanks up 14-7.

The win moves the Yankees to a MLB best 23-8 on the season.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
