Yankees looking great half way through August

It is half way through August and almost two-thirds through the regular season and the Yankees are in stellar position. With a record of 74-43, the Yankees are currently leading the entire league with the best record in baseball. The AL East’s second place Red Sox are eight games behind and things are looking great. The team is on fire, with a record of 12-2 so far in August, which includes a 4-game sweep of the BoSox. The pitching has been solid, including relief thanks to Phil Hughes stepping up as a solid eighth inning guy as well as of course the revered Rivera. The offense hasn’t been shy either, with the some even comparing it to the 1998 team, one of the best in Yankee and baseball history. Everything really seems in place right now and hopefully the Yankees can continue dominating all the way through October and to that coveted 27th ring.
