CLEVELAND (AP) -- Talk about your pushy New Yorkers.
Strutting into Jacobs Field for the weekend, the Yankees made themselves right at home. They bullied the Cleveland Indians before leaving with three wins and the same confidence that has made them champions many times before.
"I feel like we're the team," Andy Pettitte said.
When weren't they?
Pettitte didn't have much trouble with Cleveland's lame lineup and Jason Giambi homered for the second straight day as the Yankees beat the Indians 5-3 to complete a series -- and season -- sweep on Sunday.
Written off in May when they trailed first-place Boston by 14 1/2 games, the Yankees pulled within four of the Red Sox, who lost 6-3 in 10 innings at Baltimore. It's the closest New York has been to the top of the AL East standings since April 24.

Looks like the “Curse of the Hildebeast” is hurting the Mets this year more than the Yanks. ...the latter having secured a wild card birth. You know about the wildcard — the position from which the Bosox won in ‘04.

Yup. Hence my comments that even if the Yank-offs won the division it would not be devastating. To me winning the division is like winning the Big East regular season championship in basketball...nice but not that big a deal.
Should be an interesting post season. I think any of the four can make it to the WS and beat up on the NL.

I could not resist bookmarking this thread. I love bold wild arse pronouncements. Especially from Yankee fans who still do not recognize a curse (Hillary) when they see it.

I know this might be difficult to wrap your brain around, but not every baseball fan is as singularly obsessed as you are. I talk a little smack (like most sports fans), and then move on. lol...have you even posted on any another topic for months? ....or even thought about anything else, for that matter? Seriously, you're more than a bit mentally disturbed.
