A.L. East Afternoon Games, 6/27

[OFFNY]

.

Everybody in the A.L. East has afternoon games today except for the Orioles.

Lineups to be posted later today.

1:05 P.M.: INDIANS @ YANKEES

1:35 P.M.: BLUE JAYS @ RED SOX

2:10 P.M.: D-RAYS @ ROYALS

With more than half the season still to be played, all that really matters right now is the Orioles winning tonight. Still, it's fun to root against the Yankees and the Red Sox. The Rays ??? Ehhh ........ I'm rooting for the Royals, but for me, it's not on the same level of enjoyment that I get watching the Yankees and the Red Sox fall.
