Not bad, considering the quality of these opponents. They did not gain ground (except maybe in the WC race?) but they held their own. The September schedule looks a bit easier.

That's not bad at all, especially considering the fact that BAL stuck it to us during this stretch too.
If the Yanks can sweep today, they'll be 5 out. That'll give them 2 weeks to gain 2 games before the 3 game set in Fenway. I know it'll be very tough to sweep the Sox twice in a row, but at least that would give the Yankees control over their own fate.
redsoxford, thanks for the correction. I mis-read a foxsports article.
The weird part about all of this is that I'm more looking forward to Kennedy's start on Saturday than today's game. I'm really enjoying getting to watch (well, hear about) all of these kiddies this year. It's a pleasant change.
