Down The Stretch They Come

The Yanks are laying it to the D-Rays. Looks like they are running on all cylinders. With 7 days left in the season, I'm glad to see that Joe Torre is still starting the studs. At the end of the day, the Yanks will be tied with the Tigers for the best record in the American League. The two will likely share a 1 game lead over the Twins. Home-field advantage is up for grabs, and we don't want to see a repeat of last year. The ALDS looks like it will be in the Bronx, with either the Twins or the Tigers being the opponent. I don't think the A's will be able to climb their way into the 2 spot. An A's win tonight put them 3 back of the Yanks/Tigers with 6 to play. Unlikely as it is, it could happen. So let's not rest on our laurels and have to open up out west again.
Andy Cannizaro just went deep for his 1st ML HR. Congrats. Here, try these on for size. Yeah, they look good. These pinstripes belong to you.
There are still some exciting races left to hash out this week. The biggest of course being the battle for 2nd place in the AL East. Look out world! The Jays are currently a half-game up on the Sox! Hardy har har.
Peace, love and Pinstripes.
