The Yankees just completed a three game sweep of the Blue Jays, inching closer and closer to first place in the AL East. Right behind the Yankees are the Baltimore Orioles, who are in the Bronx for three games of their own. PSA DP coming right up!
David Phelps faced two great offenses in a row with the Athletics and the Blue Jays. Both times, he has come through clean and pitched brilliantly. It's getting hard to not get one's hopes up about Phelps coming around. Needless to say, we need him right now and if he continues pitching at this pace, it's going to make the month of July a lot better.

The Aardvards are piss drunk after sweeping the Blue Jays. Probably too hard of a celebration for a Thursday night, but hey, they think they've earned it. After throwing up for hours afterwards, they pulled through and did the math and found that selftitled85 is our winner with 3,000 points. Bravo.

The Orioles, who are right behind the Yankees, come into the Bronx for a three game weekend series. Hiroki Kuroda will get the start tonight. His last time out was not one of his better starts, so here's hoping he can turn it around tonight. Keep these wins coming, Yankees. It's in your best interests. That's not a thread, mind you. Merely a suggestion.
