Weekend Review, Week Preview
So all in and all it was a good weekend for the Yankees who went down to Baltimore and swept the Orioles at Camden Yards. The big news of this series was Saturday night where 'American Idle' made his first start of the season and got the win. Pavano looked a bit rusty but was able to get thru 5 innings, giving up 3 runs. The Yankees have a huge 3 game series with the Boston Red Sox starting tomorrow night at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees currently trail Boston by 5 games in the chase for the wild card so a poor showing in this series by the Yankees and that will be the final nail in the coffin for the '08 season, if the Yankees play well in this series then it should make for a fun September. After that series the pesky Blue Jays come to town for 3 games, the Yankees dropped 2 of 3 to the Jays earlier this week in Toronto.

Yup, the series here with Boston is huge, and so if the Yankees can have a good series here and not falter, it will tell if you can continue on in hopes for a September race.
With the Yankees being only 5 games out of the wildcard and with some 30 games remaining in the season, you cannot count them out just yet, although it will not be an easy task because they have to jump several teams to get there.
I am still waiting for the day when they are mathematically out.
