I'm sure that most Yankees fans aren't concerned just yet with the Rays being ahead of them, but is this going to be a battle until the end of September, or do you see the Yankees eventually catching up and then pulling away from a team like Tampa?

And when you look at the Mets, not quite the same story, of course, and a division that can be such a bear with teams like the Philadelphia Phillies and the Atlanta Braves.

Any chance that we see them climb out of the basement and get close to contention?

Or is this a team that just dug themselves into too big of a hole from the start?

Well, Dan, appreciate you hopping on.

We'll talk to you next time.

Anytime, Jack.

All right, the La Feta Delicatessen.

End of the hour answer.

What franchise has the longest active winning streak in World Series play?

They have won nine straight.

Which is two sweeps and then a championship clinching win.

I want to say San Francisco.

I know they swept Detroit, but did they lose?

They lost in seven of the Royals.

Oh, I thought it was leading up to that.

So it's probably been a while then since this team's been in the World Series.

It's been more than 30 years.

Oh.

And the streak goes back 50 years.
