Thoughts of a 10.5-game lead are causing pain in my salivary glands

I have to say I'm pretty disappointed the Yanks weren't able to sweep this past weekend. I know we've been playing spectacularly well, and we were due for a letdown at some point, but the greedy Yankee fan in me wants them to win every single game, especially when playing a team as pathetic as the Mariners. Seattle looked dead to me all weekend; it's pretty embarrassing that we gave 10 runs up to such a putrid offense.

The Yanks need to take care of business against the sorry-ass A's and fly into Boston on a tidy 3-game winning streak. It's unreal that they face Brett Tomko tonight -- if he's still pitching after the 2nd inning, something has gone horribly wrong. If we play our cards right, we could have a 10.5-game lead at the end of the weekend!
