Schadenfreude 55 (A Continuing Series)

"Any combination of Rays wins and Yankees losses totaling 23 eliminates the Yankees from the AL East race. Any combo of Red Sox wins and Yankees losses equaling 24 kills the Yankees' wild-card hopes."

Daily News:
At least the Rays and Red Sox didn't win Thursday night.

That was about the only consolation for the Yankees, who were blown out, 14-3, by the Blue Jays in embarrassing fashion to drop yet another series.

Since winning eight straight games after the All-Star break, a run that finished with them taking two of three from the Red Sox at Fenway Park at the end of July, the Yankees have won just one of their last seven series, going 9-14 over that stretch. Thursday night's defeat was the worst of the season for the Yanks, who suffered a 12-2 home loss to Baltimore on May 20.
Maybe Carl Pavano can stop the skid.

Pavano will either pitch a perfect game or come out with an injury after 2 innings.

but yes, yaknees getting their asses whipped was great.

michael kay was going on about how it was a strange scene at the hotel as the sox checked into the same hotel as the losers. "yankees and red sox roaming the halls together".

Put me down for a line that's something like 4.1 pitched, 4-5 ER, 5 hits, 2 BB, 2K.
