Baseball’s Savior

Thank you Shawn Chacon. He and the usual relief duo of Gordon/Rivera held the Orioles to one run on five hits and Alex Rodriguez homered for the 47th time as the Yankees topped the Orioles. The Red Sox dropped their game to the Blue Birds, so the Yankees now have a one game lead in the AL East. Four games, and the magic number is now four.

At worst, the Yankees will head into the shit box tied with the Red Sox. At best, we’re two games up and playing to clinch the division tomorrow. Aaron Small is on the mound tonight.
