Clearly, Torre is pointing toward October. With the Yankees' lead now at nine games, with the Red Sox unfurling the white flag (aka the trade of David Wells), the question is now how many games Torre will leave open to sacrifice, and to resting the corps of the exhausted, roughly Kyle, Proctor, Mo, Georgie, Mussina, and probably the Unit. The Yankees are headed toward a first-rounf series against the Wild Card, as the Wild Card will almost certainly come from the Central, the guts-needing Twins or the youthful White Sox.
Magic Number: 18, coupled with the Red Sox' loss.

The best part of this weekend was that,for the second day in a row, the Yankees received a strong outing from a rookie making his first start at the Stadium. Yesterday,it was Darrell Rasner a Washington Nationals castoff. On Saturday, righty Jeff Karstens gave up two runs in seven innings but lost as the Yankees sleepwalked in the rain.
All in all, a good weekend.
