The New York Yankees are playing absolutely great right now, coming off a four-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday for their 5th straight win, making them 5-0 since Ryan Dempster plucked Alex Rodriguez on Sunday.
With Thursday's 5-3 victory, the Yankees pulled to within 3 1/2 games of the wild card, putting themselves right back into the American League playoff race.
The Yankees are now in Tampa to begin a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays, a team that had been one of the hottest teams in the league, but has cooled off a big, having just been swept by the Baltimore Orioles this week.
Heading into Friday night's 7:05 pm EST game in St. Petersburg, here's what happening around the Yankees:
* After a long rain delay, Andy Pettitte gave the Yanks six innings of one-run ball, and the Bombers went on to beat the Blue Jays for their 5th straight victory. Recap:
* Derek Jeter played in a rehab game for Triple-A Scranton. Here's how it went.
* Ian O'Connor says that Joe Girardi could be pulling off the best Bronx managing job since Joe Torre in 1996.
* Jim Caple wrote a nice piece about Ichiro's 4,000 hits and the way he got there. It's a great story that you should check out.
* Metallica is playing a show on September 21st at the Apollo, one day before the honor Mariano Rivera with a pregame ceremony. Will the rock band play?
* John Harper of the New York Daily News says that A-Rod telling his people the hush up will only be good for the Yankees.
* The New York Post's Kevin Kernan wrote a column saying that now that A-Rod has shut up, it's time for the Yankees the put up.
That's all for now, enjoy this weekends series against the Rays. Unfortunately, I'll be off, and I won't be covering games until Monday. Until then, thanks for stopping by.
Also, this is the first time I've done this Morning Roundup and I'd like to know what you guys think. Let me know in the comment section, or on Twitter, if there's anything I should include in this.
