MLB September Pennant Race

It 's getting down to the wire now with only a few weeks left of baseball. It's been an interesting year thus far in baseball with a lot of ups and downs (dependent on your team of course). The Yankees dug themselves a huge hole in the beginning of the season and it's starting to show how difficult such a hole is to overcome over the long season.

Personally, I'm not too worried about taking the division, the Yankees have won the division 9 straight years now and in the past few years it hasn't produced much. It seems like whichever team gets the hottest and can ride the momentum the longest through the playoffs wins (i.e. Anaheim, Florida, Detroit, St. Louis, Boston, etc). So, my hope is the Yankees, having been playing playoff type baseball for the past month now will be primed and ready to play in October via the wild card. There are definitely some questions with the team, but every team this year has questions, despite what some misguided Boston fans will say.

And this is why I love baseball!!
