The Yankees return home for the final time, leaving their iconic Stadium with a whimper rarely associated with the building that served as home for 26 World Series champions.
All that is likely to be left is the fanfare of the final 10 games in the House that Ruth Built, a lingering goodbye as the Yankees start wrapping up a disappointing season. The final homestand begins Friday night with the surreal sight of first-place Tampa Bay coming in to start its march toward the playoffs while the Rays try to hold off Boston for the division title.
The Red Sox should be playing in October as the wild-card team, and while the Yankees try to cling to mathematics, the concept of nearly winning all their games is too much for a team that's barely played above .500 most of the season.
All that's left for the Yankees now is to offer a farewell that is less than fitting to a home that hosted so much glory for decades.
