This is it. The last game of the year for the Yankees. The last start of 2014 for Michael Pineda. The last game that Derek Jeter will play baseball.
Comment of the Game
Yesterday's COTG award goes to Kevin L for what LTL describes as the first meme of 2015. It's certainly going to be an interesting year, so he might be right.

Honorable Mod Mention
Harlan takes home the HMM award with this comment. He has a point really. Again, going to be an interesting offseason.
Best Comments of the Day
We have a rare COTD award to give out. It's the weekend, so the comments are limited. Yesterday's COTD award goes to kshah90, who has a right to be excited about Shaun potentially eating New Jersey.
- In one word, describe the 2014 New York Yankees season?
- Derek Jeter's best plays have a name attached to them (The Dive, The Flip, etc). What name would you give to his walk-off on Thursday?
As always, link us your song of the day!
We have come to it at last, ladies and gentlemen of Pinstripe Alley. This is the end, beautiful friends. The final game of 2014. Perhaps it's appropriate that Michael Pineda gets the last start of the season, as he is one of the more exciting things to look forward to in 2015. Finally, this is the last day you will see Derek Jeter come up to bat until Old Timers Day. Last Thursday will always be known as his true final game, but this still hits home a bit. After today, he will officially no longer play baseball. What a career, folks. What a career.
Fare Thee Well, Derek Jeter
