So the Yanks have now won 15 of their last 19 games and have grown their AL East lead to 2.5 games over the POS Boston Red Sox. In the time since Derek Jeter has gone on the DL, C.C. Sabathia and company has carried the team with dominating pitching, tied for the MLB in wins with 11. They have won six straight series since losing two of three to the Red Sox earlier in June.
And oh yeah, Mark Teixeira has quietly taken the league lead in home runs with 25 and hit his 300th of his career today. A-Rod is hitting over .300 on the season and Robinson Cano is getting back to last season's form. Curtis Granderson leads the league in runs scored and Eduardo Nunez has filled in nicely for the ailing Jeter at shortstop.
So, of course it's nice to have your captain in the line-up, but the way this team is playing, if he missed a few more weeks, this team wouldn't miss a beat.
