Yankee Elimination Day

One of the highest of holy days in Red Soxdom. A day when Mike Francessa and Mario from Younkers gnash their teeth and proclaim the idiocy of MFY management and the unclutchness of various players.
Never shall True Yankees be spoke ill of during Yankee elimination day lest Jeter striketh ye down with eyes of calm. Never do true Yankees not "come up in big spots."
Ultimately unpredictable, always splendid, like a medieval jubilee.
