Still not a good day yesterday
Even though the Yanks had an off day yesterday, it was still not a good day. The Rays and the Sawx both won so it is 6.5 and 9.5 in the race for the playoffs with 41 games to go.
Big statement series starts tonight against the Royals. The Yankees need a sweep this weekend. The Royals are a pesky team that will play hard all weekend. Trey Hillman used to be in the Yankees organization and is a good manager.
Pettite and the bats need to set the tone tonight. A nice 7-2 win would be a good start.
