So now what?

I'm pretty sure the Yanks will go .500 in their last 6 games.

They'll care enough to stay sharp, but not enough to get someone hurt.

Chad Gaudin starts tonight, but the way the Yanks rotation is, I'm not sure this is scheduled or an effort to give someone a rest.

The celebration yesterday was nice, and fitting, but I think no one in that clubhouse believes winning the East is anything but a stepping stone. A loss in the ALDS, or even ALCS ... let's face it, any loss will make the season pointless.

Unfortunately, the Yanks have not sone so well in the post-season after winning 100 games or more, and that lone WS win came in 1998, when MLB had a better chance of preventing the sun from rising than from the Yanks taking the title.

Six games and then the real test begins.
