The Yankees Sweep The Red Sox: Notes/Comments

The Yankees swept 4 games from the Boston Red Sox in a just completed series.

Most relevant, the Red Sox now face a steep uphill climb in a bid to be one of the two American League wild card teams.

Their 55th loss, yesterday on August 4th in their 114th game, is one more than they had last year when they compiled a (108-54) record in the regular season and won a 4th title in 15 seasons, after an 86 year title drought.

They are still a very good team, one with no intangibles for 2019, as I said all along and surely with their success, deserve a “pass” for ’19.

Meanwhile the Yankees will be in post season play for an incredible 55th time, very likely, having finished first in an entity, for the 48th time.
