New York — What exactly the Yankees were expecting this weekend at their home ballpark is easily answered.
A romp against one of the worst teams in baseball, the Tigers of Detroit.
That's because almost everyone expected it, at least this side of the Tigers, who have managed to harass and irritate one of baseball's elite teams, as happened again Saturday before Detroit lost another tight one to its Bronx hosts, 2-1.
"Every single game, we've been in it," said Nick Castellanos after the Tigers and Yankees had teamed on another tight one where numbers leaned toward the unusual, if not weird.
