Yanks were snakebit in Texas, coming out flat in the 3rd and bullpen collapsing in the 4th. Thus splitting the 4 game set in Texas. Suddenly the noose is tightening with Toronto breathing down the Yanks neck after adding an All-Star SS and a Cy Young winner.
GM Brian Cashman forewarned the Yankees will live and die with what they have. He's not kidding. No major moves at the trade deadline, despite both CC, Nova, and Pineda hurt. Just like that more than half the rotation went off the rails.
Weighed down by the contracts of Sabbathia, Alex Rodriguez, and Mark Teixiera in addition to Tanaka, McCann, and Ellsbury...can't see the Yankees bulking up anytime soon.
The White Sox are begging to be put out of their misery. Eovaldi is up and the Yanks need to dig harder and rebuild their lead.

Teixiera goes yard AGAIN! 28th homer ranks him #3 in the AL and SIX RBIs puts him on top of the AL. Welcome sight considering NO ONE finished with 100 RBIs last season.
Paul O'Neill was right. Ellsbury is NOT in game shape.

Brian Mitchell is in as an emergency starter. 5 innings, 5Ks, 3 runs. Yanks trail 1-3 to the WS. Danks has an ERA of 4+ and the Yanks are making him look like Tom Seaver.

Due to the injuries, Joe G had to use Moreno to relief Mitchell and a guy who threw 5 shut out innings against Texas Rangers when Capuano had nothing, ends up getting hurt. Capuano was one of the guys I wonder why the hell Cashman kept from last season. Useless.
Today, another story. Nova has a 7 run lead....make that NINE...Teixiera hits his 29th home run!
