The Yankees’ rivals don’t look up for giving them a real AL East fight
NY Post
The Yankees traveled to Baltimore on Monday in the midst of three straight series against AL East opponents.
Early reminder: Despite the Yankees’ issues, they’re almost always good.
They won a series over the weekend against the perennially disappointing Blue Jays, they opened against the Orioles at Camden Yards with a 4-3 loss to move to 17-12 and they’ll finish the string with three games in The Bronx against the Rays, their scuffling Steinbrenner Field tenants.
The Orioles were set to take a step forward with their young stars and perhaps challenge the Yankees for the AL East title.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
