    It is amazing that New York has never been able to get more than one game ahead of Baltimore since September 2nd:

    Maybe today is the day that we finally see more than one game between the Yankees and Orioles? Since Baltimore has to play two games today, the odds of this happening are pretty good, no?

    For the record, the Yankees and the Orioles haven’t been separated by more than one game in the standings since September 3rd, as you can see, above. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that’s the longest such streak in September or later since 1889.

    Yes, eighteen eighty nine.

      Me and my shadow,
      Strolling down the avenue,
      Me and my shadow,
      Not a soul to tell our troubles to . . .

      And when it’s twelve o’clock,
      We climb the stair,
      We never knock,
      For nobody’s there . . .

      Just me and my shadow,
      All alone and feelin’ blue . . .
