The Yankees have the reigning AL MVP and the likely 2023 AL Cy Young winner on their current roster ... they are not rebuilding. And it won't take 3-5 years for them to be good again. I agree that they need some youth on their roster, and this past series vs the Astros showed some of that potential. I don't think Boone gets them a ring, but that's a different matter. I'd be shocked if NY was not in the thick of a division title/wild card hunt by this time next year.

While we're at it, let's add the FDR presidential library (Japanese internment) to the burn list, as well as Monticello (good 'ole TJ owned a bunch of slaves) and whatever the Cleveland (Indians) are calling their baseball stadium now ... JFC, America has a very complicated and somewhat uncomfortable history, don't run from it or "burn it down" ... accept it and learn from it, which we have done ... still much learning to do.

I get that a win vs. NE would have been rather cathartic, but NE wasn't losing to Miami at home next week with the division actually on the line. Even if BUF pulls out the win today, they still have issues on run defense, JA's accuracy, etc, and they still finish 2nd to NE in the division anyway. That said, this season they were literally < 20 additional pts away from winning the division before the opening coin flip today. Truly an amazing turnaround for this franchise, hopefully this continues for a while.

Sans Girardi's gaffe, they won (or would have more than likely won) game 2 ... then they won game 3 ... then game 4 ... then game 5... that's some good solid baseball analysis, imo :P

I can't take credit for this, as I read it on another site somewhere, but I thought this was an interesting historical anecdote worth mentioning: The 2017 Yankees are the first team in mlb history to win 4 games in a 5 game series.
