Don't look now, Boston. But the Yankees are tightening that nuce bit by bit. They've been hitting all year long, but they finally have been starting to get the pitching to match. They finally got a solid starting pitcher roatation with Wang, Mussina, Pettite, Clemens, and Clippard (who's still a bit iffy but is capable of pitching well). Hopefully they can keep this momentum going for as long as possible.

"Don't look now, Boston...."
It's the ebb and flow of a 162-game season. I never thought that the Bosox would go 140-22.
Sox will pick it back up, and the Yanks will take a dive here and there - in the end Boston wins the Division by four games.

This is just in line with the Sox’s historical pattern. Lead the league until around July 4th and then, inexorably, shite the bed.

The Yanks were also 8.5 games back in the Wild Card race a couple weeks ago.
They're now 3.5 back.
But Yanks don't need to think WC -- they'll win their 10th straight division title.

What is that that the Red Sox are hearing behind them?
If the Yankees continue to cut the lead at the same pace, they will pass the Red Sox on July 4.

As a Tiger fan I can only say that a winning streak can become a losing streak in a big hurry and it ain’t over till it’s over.
In any case, Good luck Yankee fans.

The Yankees pitching will be their downfall, the Sox will come back around and ultimately win the East (Barring injuries) The Yanks relief pitching sucks.

I’m a big Yankee fan, but I don’t think the Sox will fold, their pitching is too solid. The Yanks have a good WC shot, however, especially with Hughes and Giambi coming back from injury. With a healthy front rotation, the strain on the pen will be reduced. Go Yanks!

So I guess getting swept by the Angels kind awoke them up?
