Is it too late for the Yankees to get the Division crown?

The Yankees are in the heat of a division race with the Red Sox. There is time in the season, but is it too late for the Bombers to catch them?

Is it still realistic for the Yankees to nab the AL East from the Boston Red Sox?

No, no it isn’t, but it’s getting REALLY tough.

After dropping that last game in Boston, the AL East become such a daunting mountain to climb, but it isn’t impossible.

The only way that they can catch the Sox is if they are still within grasp when they play each other. The MLB is a league where you can’t rely on others to get the job done, but the Yankees need that to happen.

There was a time to think the Mets were New York’s team, but in the words of Kurt Russell in Miracle, “Their time, is over.”

New York is the Yankees town, and they have proven that this year.

Getting the division might not be the most important thing for the Bombers. In fact, just getting to the playoffs is enough.

So, they still have a shot at the AL East, and winning it would be great, but it isn’t priority number one.

The job is to just make the playoffs, and remind people that New York is for the Yankees.
