Down to only winning the division by 3 games.
And that means what? I would like to have thought that being, 13, 14, 15 games over .500 means something. It doesn't. No matter how many games the Nationals win or the Yankees lose, we'll know, beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Yankees are better.
When you know that, what happens on the field on any given day or series of days or weeks or months doesn't change what was established this weekend.
