"I'm really, really glad he brought this up. The Yankee honks in the media are so anxious to shift the narrative around Aaron Judge in the postseason that the push back comes off as forced and inaccurate. You can't write the script in October, only the baseball gods can, and the love to make people look like idiots. For now, Judge's most memorable postseason moment will remain his dropped fly ball in the World Series last year."
"There's nothing that puts me in a good mood quite like the first 24 hours after Yankee Elimination Day! Birds (probably Blue Jays) are singing, the leaves are turning a rich tapestry of colors, and there's more playoff baseball on the way today that doesn't involve the Yankees. (Just typing that out put a smile on my face!) It's not just me either - People all around baseball are celebrating Yankee misfortunate."
"Inside the stadium, Yankee fans were leaving the game early before the final out was even recorded because they didn't want to be part of the Yankee Elimination Day festivities again. Online, Blue Jays fans were reminding Michael Kay of when he chided them this summer for "hanging on the rim" after they swept New York and moved into first place in July. Seems like that series was more of a harbinger than Kay gave it credit for."
Yankees' elimination prompted exuberant celebrations across baseball, especially among Blue Jays players and rival broadcasters. David Ortiz and Vladimir Guerrero celebrated on the Fox postgame show while A-Rod and Derek Jeter sat awkwardly. Ortiz handed out hats and Blue Jays fans celebrated loudly in the clubhouse and online. Many Yankee fans left the stadium early to avoid the elimination festivities. Online fans reminded Michael Kay about his summer 'hanging on the rim' comment after the Blue Jays swept New York. Commentary criticized Fox's handling of Aaron Judge's postseason narrative and noted Judge's mixed October legacy despite a key three-run homer.
