The Yankees motor ahead
You might recall this post from a few weeks ago where I made the point that - late in the season especially - the Yankees get more serious, and harder to beat, while the Red Sox tend to engage in full choke mode. While the Curse of the Bambino may not be real the Sox players sure play as if it is. Here are a couple of stories that illustrate what I'm talking about:
The Yankees have opened up a 6 1/2 game lead (7 in the loss column). The Boston sports writers are starting to fret, and the Sox have stopped hitting. It must be the pennant stretch :)
