With 60 games left in the season, a 2 game advantage doesn't look like much. August hasn't even started.
But this week, the Yankees look awesome. Maybe it's HOPE week and the direct engagement with disadvantaged and amazingly courageous people that has made these megamillionaires a little more grateful for the charmed lives they lead. I'd certainly be less inclined to feel sorry for myself for something or other if I had the opportunity to make a direct difference in the life of a cancer patient or someone similarly disadvantaged. Their courage must humble even the mightiest Yankees.
It's a wonderful streak the Yankees are on, and they're clearly outclassing the opposition. But truly great play sometimes comes from players who have been touched or inspired in extraordinary ways. Perhaps we're seeing some of that this week.
