For the next few days these posts are going to be short and sweet. The next big news will be when the Yankees announce their official playoff roster (if they haven't already).
So today we got to watch and experience some baseball without the high drama, just baseball for the sake of baseball. Guys playing hard, swinging the bat, throwing, catching, running, making plays just because they're playing a baseball game. And we still watch because, maybe in our hearts, we just like watching the game itself.
I guess this is what it's like for a lot of baseball teams and their fans. Just watching some baseball, no matter if the game is big or small, important or meaningless.
So in this game, one that did not impact the standings, Robinson Cano hit a grand slam and led the Yankees past the Royals. Gaudin pitched well again, further making his case for the postseason roster and perhaps the 4th starting spot. Even Shelly Duncan, the AAA MVP this year, had a thing or two to say, lacing a go-ahead single in the 6th. But mostly...the Yankees rested their key players and just sort of took it easy today.
Sounds good to me.
