Yankees return home

After finishing a 7 game road trip where they went 5-2, the yankees return to yankee stadium to play 7 games in 6 days. First, we'll face the devil rays for a 3 game series. Then, we play a 4 game set against the red sox, with a doubleheader on the 2nd day. After that, we'll play 3 games in toronto, then our final off day, then 4 in st. petersburg vs. the devil rays, then we come home for 3 against the orioles and blue jays to wrap up the season.

Ou magic number is now 10. Very soon, we can clinch the division for the 9th consecutive year. If we go at least 14-6 in these final 20 games, we'll have a 100+ win season. It's unlikely, yet possible. Right now the yankees are focusing on clinching the division so they can start resting players and preparing for the playoffs.

Tonight, Hideki Matsui is expected to make his return as a DH. We can't expect him to start hitting like he used to right away, but it's great to finally have him back.
