THE YANKEES ARE CARRYING BOONE ON THEIR BACK...

Cause it's clear that he can't help them.

The Yankees did it again. Yes, you read that right. They won another game. I know, I had to double-check too (I'm kidding!) Suddenly, they look like an actual baseball team and not some weird lab experiment gone wrong from the analytics department. Seven wins in a row. That’s not just a streak, that’s a pulse.

Sure, they beat the White Sox—but hey, let’s not nitpick. A win is a win, and when the opponent is basically a minor league club in major league uniforms, you take it, smile, and pretend it was hard.

Aaron Judge launched his 42nd home run because that’s what he does—carry this team like he’s moving furniture by himself. Cody Bellinger chipped in with a bloop single in the 11th that gave the Yankees the lead, and suddenly people are whispering that Bellinger is actually better than Juan Soto. And honestly? They might not be wrong.

I mean, if you’re one of those spreadsheet-loving nerds who talks in acronyms like fWAR (seriously, it sounds like a bad video game), Bellinger is outpacing Soto this season. He’s hitting, running, fielding—and unlike Soto, he doesn’t look like he’s allergic to defense. At this point, Soto is just a guy who swings really hard, while Bellinger is giving you the whole package. Hot take? Maybe. Correct take? Absolutely.

Meanwhile, Austin Wells homered (still batting .210), Jazz Chisholm Jr. doubled in another run, and even Anthony Volpe managed to look competent for a moment, driving in one more. Miracles everywhere. The Yankees are now just two games back of Toronto.

So, here’s the deal: keep winning, take the division, and ride that momentum. Because let’s be honest—the Wild Card is for teams that like participation trophies. The Yankees should be aiming higher... meanwhile all Boone talked about weeks ago was hoping to "squeak into the wildcard"... the dude was already giving up. But not us fans. 

But to win the World Series? That requires Aaron Boone to somehow not mess it all up. And if history tells us anything, Boone has the magic touch of turning a contender into a postseason pumpkin. Seven wins in a row or not, the only question is: can the players keep saving this team in spite of him?
