i think you have to look at the way the yanks are playing,
the yanks are 9-2 in last 11 home games, a sell out crowd ,probably ,even in the heat,
a espn game
toronto has lost 4 straight, and 8 out of the last 11
giambi back at least on dh,abreu, and a-rod may have shaken off his slump,
I agree lidle is no powerhouse but you have to look at marcums numbers from beginning of the year. he is improving no doubt but he started out pretty rough.
