Two Out of Three Ain't Bad
To quote the immortal rock singer Meatloaf, the above song reference in the subject line summed up the Yankees finally winning a series and beating the arch-rival Red Sox, thank God.
The Yankees are within 9.5 games of the Red Sox. It is a wide margin and this is home to come back. The Yankees are 21-24 and there are 117 games left in the regular season. If the Yankees win two out of three games in each series, that equals 78 victories. 78 victories plus the current 21 victories equals 99 and should win the AL East or at least garner the Wild Card.
In the meantime, I think the following will happen:
(1) The Angels will win the AL West. I need the As, Mariners, and Rangers to beat up on each other and keep each other out of playoff contention.
(2) The Indians or Tigers will win the AL Central. I need the other team (probably the Indians) to start losing immediately. I am rooting for the Royals to beat them tomorrow night.
Winning two out of three is a large task but if the bats continue to heat up and the pitching (Pettitte, Mussina, Wang, Clemens, and rookie starter du jour) is healthy, God Willing, two out of three is very doable. Keep the faith!
