New York Yankees: Double whammy week

This week may be the most significant for New York Yankees since the start of the 2012 season.

Not only will the Bombers be fighting to steal first place in the AL East, but also New York City.

Starting tomorrow night, the Yankees begin a three-game set against the divisional leading Tampa Bay Rays.

Immediately following is the first of two weekend Subway Series’ vs. their hometown rival, and NL East leading Mets.

VS. RAYS:

The Rays and their magical skipper Joe Maddon come to the Bronx having officially bumped the Baltimore Orioles out of first place, but only by one game.

Still, considering the tightness of the AL East the Rays realize all is lost by this Friday morning, as the third-place Yankees are just a game and a half behind them.

The Yankees have hung on for dear life this season, but they are in perfect place to pounce on the Rays this week, but I am sure the Rays are thinking the same.

Maddon and co. have an opportunity to gain some leeway in this competitive division because anything can happen with the Red Sox and Blue Jays only three games back.(…)
