ALITTLE BREATHING ROOM FOR THE YANKS

The Athletics lost last night, which means the Yankees are 1 and a half games in front of them for the wild card spot. It's kind of pathetic that we need to think this way right about now, but we do.

The New York Daily News writes this:

"Stephen Piscotty homered for the A's, who fell 3½ games behind first-place Houston in the AL West and 1½ back of the Yankees for the top wild-card slot."

In the end, the Orioles won and the A's starter, Brett Anderson didn't have it. And so what happens next will be major for the Yankees.  They are about to play the Blue Jays, and while they have had some success against them, this team is not consistent enough to pull is off... or can they? Can they now have a run of a lifetime and try and secure this wild card spot?

Not much more to report.  Another game tonight.  Root hard folks.
