00:00Take a look at some of the standings quickly around Major League Baseball and the American

00:03League East. Jeff said the Yankees did fall to the New York Mets, but they are still in first

00:06place by four games over both the Red Sox and the Blue Jays, followed up by the Rays and the

00:11Orioles here. And again, we just talked about in the previous segment, the Orioles fired their

00:16manager, which maybe they can get a bump, but the manager's not stepping up to the plate and

00:20hitting two and eight in their last 10 games. Certainly not good enough here, but the Red Sox

00:24now winners of one game in a row, along with the Blue Jays and the Rays. Kind of a topsy

00:30turvy East right now, but it seems like the Yankees team to beat still, Tom. Yeah, still

00:34the team to beat, Dave. And I got to say that they're fortunate for where they are. Like

00:39the other teams are just not putting the piece together. We talked about the Sox to start

00:42the season. We like them. The Orioles obviously not performing. And then we're just going to

00:46have this middling action. It's like, okay, the Blue Jays, they play the Sox. They win

00:49two out of three. Then the Red Sox play the Rays. They win two out of three. So there's no

00:52real movement in the standings because they win two, they lose two, they win two, they lose two.

00:55And if the Yankees keep picking up series wins, I think they'll have these teams

00:58kind of at arm's reach for the majority of the season. And they should be in a good spot to hold

01:03down the division.
