The New York Yankees were supposed to be surging towards the postseason by now, perhaps even resting key players to keep them fresh for October as they coasted in a weak American League East. That ... did not even come close to happening.
Instead, the Blue Jays heated up and devoured the Yankees. Then, it was the Red Sox turn; both have passed the Bombers, leaving New York in third and clinging onto a playoff berth like a hawk trying to fly through Manhattan in August with a stick of butter. It's not going great! It's sloppy in the streets!
