Let's put the last week behind us, shall we? Forget that the Yankees have lost 3 series in a row in a 3-6 stretch.
Focus on the positives: at the season's midpoint, with 39 losses on the year, the Yankees are in a 3 way tie for first in the AL East.
And now, they have a chance to beat up on the last place Rays. Baseball is a long season, and success is about beating the teams you're supposed to beat.
David Phelps tries to rebound from a 5 inning, 6 run drubbing in Toronto. Chris Archer comes off a 7 inning, 4 run performance against the Pirates.
Happy Monday. Go Yankees. Go baseball.
