Yankees Continue March Towards Post Season:

It's an interesting statistic, one that you would think
isn't true. The New York Yankees are 12-0 this season without Alex Rodriguez
in the lineup. They'll continue that trend as Rodriguez was placed on the
disabled list on August 21. He's eligible to come off the DL during the
first week in September. He has a strained calf, but the Yankees are far
enough ahead in the standings, it's a good idea to have Rodriguez rested for
the post season.
Robinson Cano is hitting in the clean up spot, usually reserved for
Rodriguez. He's doing a great job. He recorded six RBIs to propel the
Yankees to a 10-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on August 22. They finished
up a seven game home stand with a record of 5-2. Most fans state it was
against struggling teams in the Mariners and Tigers, but wins are important,
against any team. It helps to have C.C. Sabathia pitching every fifth game.
He leads the American League in wins with 17. He is 15-0 in 20 regular
season starts at Yankee Stadium since the 2009 All Star break. It's one shy
of the franchise record of Ron Guidry. Sabathia's won four consecutive
starts with a 13-2 record since June 3 with an ERA of 2.32.
The Yankees have a slim one game lead over the Tampa Rays. The two teams
have played some great games this season. The two teams don't meet again
until September 13. They have six games that will likely decide the outcome
of the AL East. The consolation will most likely be the Wild Card. Teams are
at a disadvantage with the Wild Card because they'll have to travel to
opposing stadiums. The Yankees need home field because of the advantage of
playing in Yankee Stadium. It's not the old stadium with its mystique, but
most players still come in wide eyed if they've never played in the
playoffs. August is a tough month for baseball. The teams continue to
distance themselves in the standing while the dreams of some teams are
crushed. It's a great setup for September and the push towards the playoffs.
