Looking Ahead: Yanks Wrap Homestand with Jays

NEW YORK – Sitting in the pressbox, watching the Yankees fall apart to Toronto tonight.

Hey, it happens.

Even to the best of teams.

What more can you ask from the Bombers?

They have won 15 of their last 20, 31 of their last 41, 42 of their last 57 and 55 of their last 75 games. They have the best record in baseball since the break, marking their second best second-half start (42-14 in 1938) since the All-Star Game was instituted in 1933.

Sounds good!

The Yankees have a 7 ½ game lead on Boston for first in the division. Now, we’re cooking!

They have been in first place (shared or sole possession) for 70 days this season, including each of the last 57. Fire!

They became the first in the bigs to 90 wins. Smoking!

And, the icing on the cake: According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Yankees have never blown a lead of more than six games.

Advise: Starting lining up for playoff tickets. HOT!
