The MLB season is drawing to the finish line and we have a serious race on our hands in the AL-East.Coming into today, the Yankees and Redsox were lined up at 92 wins a piece, tied with the Al Central Wildcard contender, Indians.
The Yankees won 2-1 against the Orioles behind Shawn Chacon, after yesterday's miserable pitching melt-down. A-Rod hit his 47th Homerun for the season making him the most prolific Right-handed Homerun hitter in Yankee history. People have said that historically, he's not competing with much but the fact is, he's turned his performances at Yankee stadium into the sorts of performances he held at the Bandbox in Arlington; that feat alone should single him out as one of the greatest hitters of all time.
The Red Sox lost 7-2 to the Blue Jays and the Indians took a loss as well. So now the Yankees have outright possession of first place again, and may go into Fenway with that advantage, this coming weekend.
Of course they could choke and lose as they last year, but heck, that's been the story of this up&down year. However, if they sweep the floor with the Bosox, it will be Cleveland who come marching into the post-season over the Bosox. And that just might be a bit of fun retribution.
Could it happen?
Chewbacca Is A Southpaw
We have proof. 'Chewie' threw out the first pitch in the important game where the Bosox lost to the Jays. So maybe Chewie is subliminally a Yankee fan too.
