Did everyone enjoy a much-needed break from Yankees baseball yesterday? The Bombers are just one game over .500 at 33-32, sit in fourth place in the AL East, and are four games out of the second wild card. For what might be the first time all season, Aaron Boone finally said he’s “very concerned” about the Yankees’ season. The sky is falling in Yankee-land.
Meanwhile, things are looking up for the Blue Jays. Toronto has gone 6-3 vs. New York this year, including taking two out of three games in a series three weeks ago. The vagabond Blue Jays are now playing out of Sahlen Field in Buffalo, a hitter-friendly park, albeit not quite the bandbox that was TD Ballpark in Dunedin.
