POLL: Do the Yankees still have a chance to win the AL East crown?

The Boston Red Sox swept the New York Yankees in a four-game series at Fenway Park to expand their lead in the American League East to 9.5 games.

We all know what happened this past weekend at Fenway Park.

And Yankees fans, it wasn’t pretty.

After being swept four-straight games against their rival, the Yankees, despite having the third best record in all of baseball, fell 9 1/2 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East standings.

The Yankees are down, but they aren’t out of the race just yet.

Do you think the Red Sox have the AL East locked up? Or are the Yankees a few wins away from giving Boston a run for its money?

Vote in our informal and unscientific poll and tell us why in the comments.
