Yanks making September very interesting
With Kevin Brown managing to hurt himself three times in a game- NY Times article (registration required)
the race for a playoff spot just became incredibly interesting. All Kevin managed to do was twist his knee, get hit in the forearm, and then punch a wall and break two fingers in his non-throwing hand. There is a very good chance he is out for the season- he will certainly miss some playing time anyway.
With the Red Sox only 2 1/2 games out, this makes the race for the AL East pretty much up for grabs at this point. In fact, I'd make the Red Sox the favorites right now, due to Schilling and Martinez, along with the best offense in the league.
If the Angels can get back on track, there is no reason to think they couldn't challenge the Yankees for the wild card in the AL.
In fact, I'd be hard pressed to favor the Yankees in any series if the post-season started today.
It's amazing how little $190 million gets you these days.
