The Yankees, meanwhile, are trying to avoid blowing the largest division lead in baseball history. The "record" is a 13-game blown lead by the 1951 Los Angeles Dodgers.

Nope, still in Brooklyn then, kids. Try harder.
For Pinstriper fans wondering about 1978, the Yanks may have overcome a 14-game deficit to Boston, but the Sox never had a lead that large on the division; when the Yanks were in their doldrums, they were in 3rd place, trailing Milwaukee. The Crimson Hose only led the Brew Crew by 10.5 at their largest advantage, IIRC.
I doubt there's much to worry about, though. It's not as if you're being chased by the defending World Champions who pluck kids out of AA and never lose…
Say, if we both choke away the bye week (and get swept out by Seattle/San Diego/whomever in the first round) maybe we can play some games against each other for charity?
I can see it now…
The Schlubway Series!!!
