Are the Yankees playing the best baseball?

The Yankees just completed a sweep of their hated rival the Red Sox last night with an amazing showing of offensive power in the 8th inning. The Red Sox took the lead in the 8th inning with a 2-run homerun to put them up 2 to 1. Then in the bottom of the 8th, with 2 outs, Damon connects with a one run homerun to tie the game up. The next batter, Taxeira, hits an one run homerun to take the lead 3 to 2. The Yankees score two more runs that inning and wrapped up the game with a 5 to 2 win. The Yankees outscored the Red Sox 25-6 in this last series. Where did the Red Sox offense go? Are the Red Sox in a hitting slump? Or are the Yankees just that strong? Are the Yankees playing strong enough to win the World Series?

My opinion is the Yankees are the BEST team in baseball right now. And that is NOT because they are my favorite team. I just feel like the Yankees are hitting when it counts and their pitching is finally coming around. C.C. had his best game of the season against the Red Sox a few days ago. Is this a flashback of the 2000 Yankees? I say yes. All they need to do is stay healthy.

I know there are a lot of mislead fans out there, aka Red Sox fans, but face reality, the Yankees are playing at the top of their game right now and they are a scary team to face. They have the whole package with the defense, hitting and pitching. Will we, meaning Yankees fans, be no longer saying 26 to all of you Red Sox fans and will be saying 27 instead? I think it is a strong possibility......
