SU is back from vacation and has some rapid fire thoughts for you:

• Very worried about the Yankees’ chances in the wild card game.  If Oakland does full reliever on them, it’s not good.  During the year, the Yankees rarely hit well when faced with a succession of hard throwing relievers, and Oakland has a bunch of them.  The team is not built to score without the aid of home runs.  True, they have been hitting better of late but we all know that can come and go.  Can you move runners, hit away from the shift, steal a base?
• SU thinks the Yankees will go with Severino.  Boone likes the idea of the shutdown ace who throws 99 mph.  But he will be on a short leash just like last season.
• Boone will start McCutchen but I would go with Gardner.
• I am not making any predictions but this is a much tougher match-up than the Twins in 2017.  I am not feeling confident.
• Caught some of the Ryder Cup in the morning hours.  It’s funny how bad Tiger Woods’ record is in team competition.  Something like 9-19 in pairs play and he lost in singles on Sunday.  The US captain’s job is just ripe to be second guessed.  Really can’t win.  The US team hasn’t won in Europe in something like 25 years.  But a lot of fun to watch the intensity of the players.
• Which week will the Giants bottom out?  OBJ is just about ready to go nuclear with frustration.  He is doing his best to hold it in but he is going to erupt soon.  They are pretty unwatchable.  Eli has no time to throw.  Period.
• I still think college football is much more enjoyable although the NFL had some high scoring games yesterday.  Still too many penalties and replay takes way too long.

So, Yankee fans, feeling confident?  Let us know what you think.
