The Yankees are right in the middle of their interleague games this season and are heading west to play the D-Backs and Dodgers, two former World Series opponents.
Their last two series have been against the Mets and Phillies, who were also in the World Series against the Bombers.
The Phils and Yanks faced off last October, with the Yankees winning the series four games to two for their unprecedented 27th championship. But it ...

Well, he's still at AAA Scranton/Wilkes Barre, to be exact.
Right now, the Yankees might want to call AAA to fix their flat team.
The Bombers got bombed by the Rays last night, 10-6 (trailing 10-2 at one point,) and are now just 4-6 in their last 10, dropping to four games out of first.
To make matters worse, Jorge Posada is out three to four weeks with a broken foot, and Marcus Thames sprained his ...

With an "A-Bomb" grand slam from A-Rod on Friday night, the great Mariano Rivera giving up a grand slam himself on Sunday, and Marcus Thames sinking Papelbon and the Sox on Monday, it has been a week of highs and lows for the Yanks thus far.
But through it all, the Yankees are starting to see some major production out of their once struggling sluggers.
