Nothing is a lock. The Yanks making the playoffs is not a lock. They keep losing games like last night–not enough hitting, not enough pitching–and they can easily find themselves missing the wildcard altogether.
They’ve got to deal with Chris Archer tonight–good luck–and then the Mets and Blue Jays. Yup, it’s not hard to imagine the Yanks missing the playoffs if they don’t get their shit together.
Frusterating.
OTOH,back in April, how many of us really thought the Yanks would be playing meaningful games during the last 2 weeks of September? Don't give up yet!!
