Yankees Rolling Lucky Seven

With today’s victory, the Yankees have now won seven games in a row. Coming into this run, New York was tied for first place with the Tampa Bay Rays. And, the Boston Red Sox sat just five games back of them in the all-important loss column. However, with this afternoon’s win, the Yankees now have a one-game lead over Tampa in the loss column (which could move to two if the Rays lose this evening). More importantly, New York is now 8 1/2 games ahead of Boston – with 27 games left to play.

Basically, this all means that any combination of Yankees wins and Red Sox losses that equals 20 between now and the end of the season ensures New York’s place in the post-season.

It don’t bounce much better than that, does it?
