Great win tonight and taking 3 of 4, they did what they had to do, Boston would have loved a split.
My last post was a week ago tonight saying: " Boston can't bury us, only 2 1/2 out."
Well since then: Cleve sweeps us, boston sweeps the Jays and back to 5 1/2.
Back down to 3 1/2.
Yanks were in 1st when doing great till mid June, then stink and 5 1/2 out, then 1/2 in 1st, then 5out, down to 3, back to 5 1/2, down to 2 1/2, back to 5 1/2, now to 3 1/2.
You start feeling good then they're making a move then they disappoint.
You think that boston might take control of the east and then the yanks turn it on and cut it 2-3 games then you get a good feeling, only to be disappointed again.
Schedule is tough now, next 3 series:
Yanks:
@ Balt mon, tues, wed
@ Tex Fri, sat, sun
@ TB mon, tues, wed
Boston
Vs. Tor mon, tues, wed
Vs. TB fri, sat, sun
Vs. Oak Tues, wed, thurs
Boston might sweep Toronto, we gotta win 2 of 3 in Baltimore (4out), TB fight for a playoff spot, pray they can take 2 of 3 at Fenway, yanks win 2 of 3 at Tex and back to (3out), Yanks at TB could we get 2 of 3, Sox might sweep oak
Actually I could see Yanks spliiting @ Balt and TB, they have to win 2 of 3 at TB. 5-4 trip.
Boston could sweep Toronto, and win the first 2 vs. Oak (not counting Thursdays game. Just pray TB wins 2 of 3 at Fenway. 6-2. That's 5 out. Cannot be more then that on sept 13th
4 of the 5 series are at home for the Yanks, and the lone road series is at Toronto.
Boston after the home stand: @TB 3, @BAlt 3, @Cincy 3, vs Tor 3, Vs Houston 4.
Gotta survive these next 9
