Another roller-coaster week in the Bronx has come to a close. Will another one start up? The Yankees avoided a sweep last night against Boston, and now have a huge opportunity to really solidify their grip on a playoff spot, with a series against a Nationals starting tonight before a trip to Chicago to face the White Sox. Let’s hope they spare us the drama and just take care of business against a pair of teams they should beat.
