There Goes The AL East

So much for the AL East, Yankee fans.

After the Red Sox four game sweep of the White Sox, where they outscored Chicago something along the lines of 98-3, I'm officially conceding the AL East to the Sox.

The lead is at 7.5 with a month to play and the Yankees need to set their sights on catching a peaking Seattle team. While the Yanks will host the Red Sox this week, a sweep will only get them to 4.5 games. I hate to concede the race, but Yankee fans should just focus on how the M's are doing.

Knowing the Red Sox, there will probably be a freaking parade in Boston for winning the AL East for the first time in over a decade. Congrats. Frankly, I like the Yankees chances in a 7 game series with the Sox.
