Both the Boston Red Sox (54-34) and the New York Yankees (43-43) won today. The Red Sox lead the Yankees by 10 games (nine in the loss column). If the Red Sox win just 55% of their remaining games, the Yankees will have to go 52-24 (.684) to tie. I notice that Tom hasn’t taken me up on my wager proposal.

Addendum: Boston’s magic number to eliminate New York is 66.

Addendum 2: Read it and weep, Yankee fans.

Addendum 3: Number of World Series titles for the Yankees since 2000: zero. Amount spent trying to buy title: zillions.
