Yankees party blues?

It's one thing to celebrate when the Championship is clinched but partying mid season is a sure fire way to cause ire amongst fans if losses quickly follow. Rumours were circulating amongst us sports hacks that the winningest team in Baseball history the New York Yankees were partying hard during a couple of rest days last week. Most of the squad were seen enjoying the girls and the sauce down at Manhattan's Copacabana. It was even rumoured Whitey Ford, usually abstemious during the season, was trying to keep up with MIckey, and that is only going to end one way.....badly. The team lost three from six this week and while they rebounded with two wins straight and another a second season high 17 to zip there were mutterings of discontent down Bronx way. Oh and by the way Whitey did only last three innings and looked a shadow of his earlier season self in his latest start. All will surely be forgiven if they add another WS to their total. The race is all about second with barely a game between the other three teams with the Dodgers recently winning four straight. Stay tuned as we bring you a play off special next week.

Over in the PL things are hotting up on the field with the Cubs and Braves pacing the field. The Phillies are stone last having lost six straight but do have the BA leader with Richie Ashburn the only player over .400 on .438.
