I ran out of adjectives to describe this Yankees team long ago, and have now resorted to making weird yelping sounds at my screen whenever the unlikely lads pull off an unexpected win. Their latest feat, completing consecutive extra-inning wins against the Tampa Bay Rays, left me screeching like a baboon. Too bad that they couldn’t make it three in a row, but you can’t win them all.
More importantly, the Yankees’ extra-inning heroics currently leaves them with 7.5 games’ worth of breathing room apart from said Rays, further securing their perch atop the AL East in the final days of the first half.
