HEEEYYYYYOOOOOO!!! Happy Monday and welcome back to Furn Talk, a place to get away from the awful stresses of the world and talk Yankees and Baseball! Gonna be a juicy one this week so many things to cover including the trade deadline. SOOOOO let's jump right in.

Trade Deadline:
Well this was a hard part of the week to swallow. After having a Starting Pitcher ERA of over 11. It seemed like a pretty apparent sign for Brian Cashman to get a solid Starting Pitcher at the deadline. But the asking price was too high for the Yankees. While it seemed to be looking alright, since the Dodgers, Astros, and Red Sox didn't make any moves, the Astros acquire Zack Greinke at the Deadline making easily the best Starting Rotation in the American League. The Astros now have Verlander, Greinke, Cole, and newly acquired Aaron Sanchez of the Blue Jays. 3 of those Names will finish Top-10 in AL Cy Young Voting. Great news if you are a Houston Fan, awful news if you are literally any other team. Definitely a gut punch for Bronx Bombers.

Weekly Games:
Amidst all the hate at the deadline, BOY, did the Bronx Bombers respond emphatically. They go 5-1 this week and Sweep those Red Sox like it was nobody's business. Chris Sale looked like he deserved a Demotion to Triple A and the Yankees Bats shined in a must win series (please reference earlier blogs for a complete list of all important series). We ultimately set Boston back so far in the Playoff Picture, which is a win in my book.

Got to see the game on Saturday, which was excellent. Although Edwin Encarnacion (The Parrot Man) broke his wrist and will be out for a few weeks, which hurts our offensive fire power. Nonetheless, this is why we have great depth for our lineup as we seem to have waves of injuries that lurk over us. With a weaker lineup, we should be able to trudge forwards in our pursuit of having the best record in Baseball despite having a long Injured List.

Weekly Outlook:
We have a pretty light road trip coming up. We are playing the O's at Camden Yards in a 3-game set that starts tonight, and then we go North of the Border to face the Blue Jays at the Rogers Center for a 4-game set. While these series are not as important as the LA Dodgers series or A's series coming up, it will be important this week for some of the regulars to get some rest, and let the subs shine. As the subs are more talented than most teams' starters, we should be able to get some solid wins this week.
Tune in Next Monday for another breakdown of the week and outlook for some very important series coming up.
Enjoy the rest of your day and Go YANKEES!!!
