Through the highest of highs and lowest of lows, the New York Yankees are the AL East champions, putting all doubts aside and rolling into the first true series of the postseason in the Bronx. Aaron Judge is able to achieve a historic feat, but is it THE most historic feat? Also, can Aaron Boone lead this team deep in the playoffs, and were the Blue Jays pitchers merely cowards?
-
The Yankees are starting to change their luck by beating up on the Red Sox and the Rays, but will not have such easy opponents in the playoffs. Without a chance to address their roster outside of the organization, and a mixed bag of opportunity and results from the minor leagues, can the Yankees protect their weaknesses to prevent being ousted early from the playoffs yet again, and ending a once-promising season with a whimper?
-
The New York Yankees continue to play uninspired baseball since before Independence Day. The same players that propelled the team to a double-digit division lead are mostly the ones contributing to them challenging the Tigers, Diamondbacks, and Pirates for the lead of offensive ineptitude. Fans look longingly-- not for Joe DiMaggio-- but for Joey Gallo? And the coaching staff doesn't believe their own lies.

The New York Yankees are limping out of an underwhelming trade deadline, staying flat after the All Star break.

The New York Yankees lose Michael King to injury for the rest of the season. The team has barely played better than .500 ball in July.

-
The New York Yankees continue to score the most runs, but perhaps most importantly and consistently, allow the least runs. The starting rotation of Cole, Severino, Taillon, Montgomery, and Cortes Jr. are healthy, and racking up innings. It feels like the Yankees have been playing with house money. Can their luck continue?
-
The Yankees are in the toughest part of their schedule to date and so far, have weathered the storm. No-hitters aside, they trade haymakers with the Astros, extend their AL East lead, and still are the best team in baseball. How long can they stay atop the pack with under-performing players weighing them down? Is this their last crusade with Aaron Judge available? And how does an interpreter get suspended for a brawl on the field?

Aaron Hicks and Josh Donaldson getting timely hits? What universe are we in? Winning big, winning small, or capitalizing on opponents' mistakes, the Yankees just keep piling up Ws in the column. The contention window is wide open, right now, and the Yankees are a team that are answering all questions right now.

The Yankees are the first team to 36 wins, while the Mets lead the NL with 35 wins. The Yankees weather injuries by leaning on their leading starting rotation, and Aaron Judge takes issue with the world during his walk season.
