If you were reveling in the demise of the New York Yankees I guess its time to remind you that we haven’t even reached the All-Star break yet. The Yankees are currently 5.5 games out of first place but have been on a six game winning streak and are 8-2 in their last 10 games. Jason Giambi leads the Yankees with 17 homeruns with 40 RBI’s as well. Only Detroit can match the Yankees 8-2 mark over the last 10 games but they can only boast of a two game winning streak rather than New York’s six.
