The Yankees are 3.5 games behind the Red Sox, and 3 in the loss column. The Yankees have 12 games remaining. The Tigers are now are 3.5 games behind the Yankees. The Tigers have 11 games remaining. The Yankees magic number for the wild card sits at 9.
The Yankees are now 8-2 in their last 10, the Red Sox are are 5-5.
The Indians and Angels have the same record, at 88-62. This also puts them 2 games behind the Red Sox for the best record in the league. There seems to be a big debate about who we want to play the first round betwen the Indians and Angels. We can't worry about it. Focus on today and todays game. The playoff seeds will sort themselves out, and the Yankees will be ready for whomever they face.
Here in Boston, there is a sense of unease but I wouldn't say anyone is worried. They see those games against Tampa coming up, and they don't see how they can lose. However I do think they're overlooking how much ground the Yankees have made up.. After tonight though, there could be panic in the streets.
By the by.. I couldn't watch the game last night, did the squirrel show up?

I was at the game in the bleachers, and I kept an eye on the foul pole--I didn't see the squirrel. That doesn't mean the YES crew didn't spot him and show him on TV, but I did not see him.
I've never seen him in person! I've got tickets to 2 more games....there's still time!
Man, this is shaping up to be quite a finish!! Manny's probably back on Wednesday, but if Sox lose tonight, and we win, can they stave off collapse? Sure is quiet over on the NY Post :-)
Two words:
Squirrel Power!
Wow! That squirrel is certainly prolific!! Go Scooter!! Go Yankees!
Hah. Go Yankees! Go Scooter!
Andrea:
