The New York Space Mountain Yankees.
This roller-coaster season has all the twists and turns possible. From bad to decent to good to bad, the Yankees are now in a bit of a tailspin. They have fallen to the second wild-card spot and their lead is just 1.5 games over the sizzling Blue Jays. Five straight losses have Yankee fans entering panic city, but a win on Thursday could give the team a much-needed sigh of relief going into the Subway Series in Queens this weekend.
To talk about the Yankees’ struggles, the big Mets-Yankees series ahead and look back at 9/11, we bring you a new episode of the “Pinstripe Pod” with Chris Shearn and Jeff Nelson, featuring a terrific interview with three-time Yankees World Series champion Mike Stanton.
Pinstripe Pod Opening Segment with Chris, Jeff & Jake:
- YANKEES STRUGGLES: Five straight losses and nine losses in their last 11 games. Things are falling apart for this team. The rotation is not giving length and the team is struggling against teams in the division. Nellie says it felt like a library it was so quiet in the stadium Wednesday. Could this team actually end up missing the playoffs now?
- SUBWAY SERIES/REMEMBERING 9/11: Shearn and Nellie will be at the Amazin’ But True live fundraiser podcast Friday night at Katch Astoria. Both teams are fighting for the playoffs and this is a huge series, including the 20th anniversary of 9/11 on Saturday. We all look back to where we were on that tragic day.

- 9/11, 2001 YANKEES: Takes us through where he was on 9/11, the Yankees coming back to play and uplifting the city getting to the World Series. They were a hated team, but loved during that playoff run.
- JETER: He had ice in his veins and anyone saying he is not a Hall of Famer is crazy. He is not the all-time greatest shortstop, but he’s in the conversation of being one of the best.
- 1998 YANKEES: Will never have a team as good as that team.
