Big win last night
5.5 back in the wild card race, 10 back in the Al East race, with 36 games to go.
Huge game tonight with Doc Halladay going for the Jays. He is a monster on the mound and can throw a complete game with his eyes shut. Ponson is really going to have to step up. The hitters will have to step up more and somehow knock Halladay around.
In a previous post I talked about pitch recognition and that ability will be really tested tonight. With Matsui back and I-rod they have their deepest lineup all year. A nice 5-3 would be good.
The Yankees really need to win tonight and sweep the O’s over the weekend to be 4.5 or 3.5 games out when playing the Sawx next week.
I think the team needs to go 29-7 and win 96 games to be in the playoffs. It is not going to be easy but it can be done. The Rays, Sawx, Twinkies, and White Sox are not going anywhere so it will take 95-96 to be in the playoff hunt.
