Apologies for the delay since my previous post at the end of the regular season. Since then, the real-life Yankees toppled Oakland in the Wild Card game but fell disappointingly to the Red Sox in the first round. Could the alternate universe Yankees fare better? Well, as you can see by the title of this […]

The final week of the regular season has arrived! With just seven games left on the slate, a two and a half game difference between the Yankees and Red Sox, and the rivals facing off against each other at Fenway to end the season, blood pressures are sure to be high. Four games in Tampa […]

Whoever put together the MLB schedule had exactly what’s occurring in the OOTP universe in mind for the final two weeks of the season, at least for the AL East division race. Too bad it didn’t go the same way in reality. In this virtual world, the Yankees finished last week a game and a half ahead of […]

There’s not much time left in the season, and if you’re hungry for a division race because it’s just not happening in real life, the OOTP Yankees have you covered. Last week, the virtual Yanks finished two and a half games ahead of the Red Sox for the division lead. This week, the race with […]

It might have been fair to start really worrying after Boston cut the division lead to a mere half game last week. With a west coast trip on the docket and lackluster recent performance, things weren’t so good in Yankeeland. Fortunately, this week brings the return of the team’s co-ace, Madison Bumgarner. Happy travels in Oakland […]

September is here and that means the final and deciding stretch of the divisional race is underway. Though the real-life Yankees seem just about buried and will have to settle for the wild card, the parallel universe Yankees are the cream of the crop in the AL East, though not by much. Last week, the […]

It was just last week that the OOTP Yankees handled lesser teams in the Rays and Blue Jays. With the Marlins and Orioles on the schedule for this edition, it was another opportunity to take care of business. Yet, as we have frustratingly experienced in reality with this year’s Yankees club, beating bad teams isn’t […]

It’s nail-biting time in the OOTP universe. After last week, the Red Sox were breathing down the Yankees’ necks, sitting just a half game behind the Bombers. As you may recall, Boston was six games off the pace just a few weeks ago. There’s no more time to mess around now, as one bad week could […]

Everyone loves a good division race, right? I sure would like to have one in real life right now, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. After last week, the alternate universe Yankees were up four games in the division (and six just two weeks ago). After this week, it looks like an exciting […]

Last week, I downplayed the odds of any more significant moves other than perhaps another reliever. Well, I lied as you can tell by the headline. There was one blockbuster move along with two smaller deals made, so let’s not keep you waiting any longer: Another ace and two bats Acquired Madison Bumgarner for Jacoby […]
