Re: New York Yankees: Order Has Been Restored To The Universe
There isn't much to like about being 4.5 back in the Wild Card, but Tampa isn't exactly lighting the world on fire right now. Getting Pedroia back soon will certainly help. I know they've struggled against bad teams, but they're 15 over .500 for a reason. I'd be shocked if they go .500 against these bad teams down the stretch. If they do, that combined with their dreadful start will be why they're on the outside looking in. The fact they're only 4.5 out with all the injuries says a lot to me.
They're not in a very good position. If they were in any other division they'd be fine. Instead they're in the AL East Cage Match with not just NY and TB but Toronto and now Baltimore who seems to give a crap again. Boston has also been decidedly mediocre against bad teams. What is there to like?
