Only 4.5 Games Back

Posted by M. Patel under Speculation 

Yes, that’s right, at this moment the Yankees are only 4.5 games behind division leaders, Boston. The Red Sox lost to the D’ Backs last night and the Yankees had an off day so we moved up by .5 game. We are only 3.5 games behind the Rays for second place.

The Yankees will start a series against the Pirates tonight, so we should win atleast a couple of games against them. Meanwhile, the Red Sox still have two games left against potent Arizona, who’s pitching continues to dominate. This bodes well for the Yankees because the BoSox are bound to lose atleast one more (hopefully) and if the Yanks can keep playing well we will be able to bring the standings even closer.

Tampa will start a three-game series against state-rivals, the Marlins, tonight. The fish have been playing well thus far this season, but I wouldn’t count on them beating the Rays (although it still is possible) due to the lack of pitching. At this point I am not really worried about the Rays though because as long as the Yankees keep winning we will be fine.

The point of this post was just to show that in the past two weeks a lot has changed for the Bombers and good things are coming. Just keep having faith and remember that it’s never over ’til it’s over, atleast for the Yankees.
