Tabula rasa, a blank slate. The New York Yankees enter the month of July at 39-39 and with quite the momentum. New York finishes June at 15-12, a game better in the loss column than their 16-13 May ledger.
By momentum of course I mean nearly taking three of four from the AL best Texas Rangers, if not for a costly, lengthy rain delay to start the series. With two consecutive walkoff victories, the Yankees will start a defining month, both before and after the All-Star break. It’s pivotal month, one in which we find out if the Yankees are contenders or pretenders and how the front office reacts to their record at the trade deadline.
