Day 3 of the post-2026 Yankees World Series, and MLB games continue without the Bombers. Tonight, the Rays will learn who will play in the ALCS on Monday at Tropicana Field, as the 2-0 advantage that the White Sox once held in their return to the South Side disappeared. The Rangers won both games in Chicago and the 2001 Yankees can complete their comeback with a homecoming night in Cleveland. Whoever emerges, the dogs will be heavy against the high-seeded rays.
On the site today, Josh talks about the accident, and I’m sure many other fans who felt so typical after another Yankees exit. Next, John David Bednar writes for our Yankees birthday, while Kento Aaron Boone breaks down a complicated plan to take Trent Grisham’s lead in Game 3, and Matt offers the biggest handshake since the Boone Era. With the NLCS already underway and starting tomorrow night, Peters also previews the Dodgers/Brewers matchup, which Milwaukee is hoping for. a lot closer than the 2025 version.
