Re: ~~~ OFFICIAL YANKEES 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS OR BUST THREAD ~~
the yankees have the best offense in baseball. even am injury to one of the lesser components (matsui/giambi etc) would only bring them down to others levels.

Re: ~~~ OFFICIAL YANKEES 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS OR BUST THREAD ~~
The staff has been pretty good the last week or so. They're definitely a better team than their current record--look at the runs scored vs. runs allowed, although that is a bit deceptive in that 3 guys have been responsible for creating such a large percentage of the runs.
They have to go 72-51 (.585) to get to 90 wins, which might get them the wild card. Doable. But the thing that concerns me is that the guys who have been subpar--Abreu, Damon, Giambi, Matsui, Mussina, Rivera--are not youngsters. |

They've scored one less run than Boston and given up 49 more. Over a one run/game differential. That's huge.

[/ QUOTE ] well yeah they have had a pretty bad staff so far, no doubt about that. still the offense is not the problem at all. the yankees staff will get better obviously, but they cat expect a 'big' bump in quality for at least 2-3 weeks. if they are still down by 10 games at that point (perhaps more?), its a tough hill to climb when the red sox look anything but fluky. of course some NYY fans will count on end of season 'karma' and assume the red sox will collapse while the yankees play .700 ball. |

Yanks have had 8 on through 6 today, which isn't that great I suppose. The LOB number is deceivingly low due to the DPs. [/ QUOTE ] Karak, you are being a homer: [ QUOTE ] They're only 18th (better than average) in GIDP. [/ QUOTE ] From Dynasty earlier in the thread. Also, as a Red Sox fan [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Kyle Farnsworth I think the Yankees will be better than they have been lately, but I don't think they have much hope at the division unless they sweep the upcoming series against the Sox. |
