The Yankees lost last night, in one of the more frustrating games in recent memory – though, to be fair, that’s largely due to the fact that the Rays are the most annoying team in Major League Baseball. And the edge in the season series is on the line this afternoon, as they’ve split the first fourteen games thus far. Let’s end the series on a high note, gentlemen.
As an aside, this is the Yankees last series against a team with a winning record until they visit Oakland on September 3. Their next five series are against the Blue Jays (55-65), Marlins (48-75), Orioles (36-85), White Sox (44-76), and Tigers (50-71).
