Hear that thud? That's the sweet sound of
The Bronx Embalmers falling out of first place in the American League East. The
new occupant of the top spot—the Toronto Blue Jays—won their 10th straight to ascend to first. Meanwhile, the punch-less Yankees (aptly named
'Men Without Bats' by the
NewYork Post), lost their 5th straight game, falling to The Tribe, 2-1.
Alex Rodriguez—always the primary team motivator—chimed in with this after the loss,
"Hopefully we turn it around pretty soon". Dynamic stuff, huh? Hey, that's why
The Centaur gets the big bucks. This collapse should be fun to follow for the next six or seven weeks.
