Yankees Are On The Right Track

Since my last post, The Yankees have beaten the AL Central leading White Sox, twice. The Angels have played the Red Sox 3 times, beating them twice.

This puts the Yanks 3 games out of first, and only a 1/2 game out of the Wildcard.

This is playoff preview weekend.

The Red Sox are in Anahiem, likely their opponent in the ALDS, and The Yanks are in Chicago, likely their opponent in the ALDS.

So how's that working out so far?

Score it like the Yanks 2, White Sox 0. And Angels 2, Red Sox 1.

My big concren was that the White Sox were going to give The Yanks problems. I feel much better now.

And with the Yanks only 3 games from taking 1st place away from the Red Sox, what if they over take them?

Well then the playoff picture I painted changes to Sox vs. Sox, and Angels vs. Yankees.

That would benefit the Red Sox. The Angels always play the Yanks tough. The Yanks are 4-6 against the Angels.

The best thing the Yankees could do is let the Red Sox win the division, let the Sox play Anaheim (sorry, living 10 minutes from Angel Stadium, I will NEVER call them Los Angeles, Artie Moreno can bite me), the Angels and Sox are 3-3 against eachother this year.

Have you ever hoped for 2nd place?

Me either, but this a strange year.
