The New York Yankees. The most expensive Team in the history of baseball is heading for disaster. The sky is falling in Yankee Stadium after allowing a 10+ lead in the standing to evaporate to 3.5 games. The Boston Red Sox, on the other hand, look like a team inspire to play baseball.
The Yankees basic problem is starting pitching. Since the fall of the starting pitching, there is only one pitcher who has pitched well. The rejuvenated Orlando Hernandez (El Duque). Brown, Mussina, Vasquez, etc have all been awful and Loiza was recently sent to the bullpen after having an era over 7+ over 5 starts. This has created a big burden in the bullpen. The bullpen is tired after having been used so often.
In conclusion, this may be the year where the string of consecutive years to the playoffs may be broken. The Yankees have been in the playoffs since 1995 and it will be quite sweet if they do not make it and a team like the Texas Rangers do. George is in trouble!
