Yeah they lost 2 to Oak in Oakland, then took 2 of 3 off the Yankees in their own house. You are talking about 8 wins off the bottom 2 teams in maybe the worst division in MLB(most of them at home). Yeah I know it is not even 1/4 the way though but 2nd place in the AL east may not be enough to get into the playoffs this year. And frankly I am quite happy with a 5 1/2 game lead and 5 out of 6 wins over the Spankees.
