Time to see what we’re really made of

So the Yankees face both of their arch-rivals this week, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the Boston Red Sox. The road to the World Series will also go through at least one of these teams, should the Yankees make it that far.

I’m not going to go all crazy and irrational Yankee fan on you and be all “these are the most important six games in the history of mankind!!11!!” since the Yankees essentially have their playoff ticket punched. However, this week’s games should still be a decent barometer of how competitive the Yankees can be against their potential postseason opponents.

I’d be happy with a 3-3 split. Anything more than that would have to be considered gravy, especially since three of these games take place in Angel Stadium, the Yankees’ own personal house of horrors.
