After a three-game sweep, the Yankees are 8-1/2 ahead of the Red Sox, up nine games in the loss column. I'm not saying it's over, because the Yanks have enough pitching issues to give us some doubt (anybody seen El Duque?), especially when you think about the playoffs. BUT, when Jeter puts himself in the hospital to catch a foul ball in the stands, to end the 12th inning, you see why the Yanks are so tough. Manny and Ortiz will continue to put up the big numbers, but are the Sox winners? Doesn't appear so.
