With the Yankees getting set to host the Red Sox (and their 11 1/2-game lead in the AL East) for a three-game series at the Stadium, it's safe to say these are not the circumstances we had imagined would surround the late-season matchup.
Instead of battling for the division, it turns out the Yankees will just be hoping to prevent Boston from celebrating in the Bronx while holding off the surging A's in order to host the wild-card game. It looks like Aaron Judge could return to a full-time role sooner rather than later, so that's good -- but Gregg needs to see something out of this team soon if it is to be taken seriously come October.
