With full belly and a two and a half game lead over Boston, the Yankees now travel to Tampa to face the red hot Rays in a series that pits the two best teams in the division against each other (right now, you can't tell me Boston, half of whose lineup is slumping pathetically, is the #1 or #2 team in this division).
This was a homestand to be proud of. Everyone contributed, up and down the lineup, from the role players and journeymen to the everyday superstars, and from deep in the bullpen to the starters who got the job done when it counted. One could say "it was the pitching that won these ballgames", and others can claim that "the Yankee bats lead the way" but in reality it was everything coming together at the same time, a team effort, an inspired performance by a group that, though they've got a league-full of multimillionaire veterans, is playing like they've still got something to prove.
