They are aging, hurt and they just lost five in a row. Now, they must entertain the first-place Boston Red Sox for three games at
The Concrete Bunker On 161st Street. Boston leads the majors in runs scored and holds a two game lead on the Bronx Embalmers.
Tonight, Jon Lester takes the hill for Boston and will face two Evil Ones straight off the disabled list. Former good-guy
Kevin Youkilis and forever bad-guy
Mark Teixeira are expected to suit up for the first time in a
long while. Of course, The Empire still has
Curtis Granderson,
Derek Jeter and
Alex Rodriguez on the disabled list. Look for some fireworks tonight, as both teams find themselves in unexpected contention one-third of the way through the season. Fasten your seats belts.
