Well, the Yankees had a chance to roll into Friday night on a tear. They entered the ninth inning last night up 3-1 and ready to win their fifth straight game. Instead, they dropped yet another contest in heart-rending fashion, falling eight games back in the AL East after a 5-4 loss to the Red Sox. This series represented a huge opportunity to get back into the division race, and it’s off to an awful start.
