DM,
What was the Yankees excuse? They played the same teams. The Red Sox were due to cool off. They have a tough series coming up this weekend too.
I have felt that we will be in good shape if we could hold the four game lead into the ASG, it may be a little tough, but perhaps the Rays will do the same to the Yankees this weekend.
I certainly hope so, Chacon is due to pitch Sunday when I am there.
