It seems that NY has the upper edge going into this weekend's series with the Tigers. As of August 11, the Tigers were 11-18 since the All Star break. The Yankees, however, have gone 24-8 in their last 32, surging ahead of the wild card race. It is relieving to have the Yankees back into the race so I don't have to hear their fans complain and moan around Fuller's campus any more... There are many Yankee fans around here and they really don't know what to do without having anything to groan about. But don't worry Yankee fans, we'll move into fall, A Rod will start to suck, the Yankees will choke once again prior to the World Series, and you'll have another off season to make expensive acquisitions of free agents that will lead you deeper into both dept and death as a team. Maybe this weekend will be the start of this process, as the Tigers will unexpectedly take 3 of 4 from the Bronx Bombers, setting them into the tail spin of their repeated cycle of death.

Yes, the Yankees have had their problems, but the reason that the Yankees keep winning is because their fans are the most passionate on the planet. When the Yankees lose, they can not stand it. No true Yankees fans care whether A-Rod stinks in September or October, because as long as they win, that is all that matters. I would say it is the only organization that places the team above personal stats.
Last year the Yanks were five games behind Boston, then swept the BoSox and won the AL East.
By the way the Yankees lost the 2001 World Series, but no one ever remembers who lost the World Series. :)
