The Fact of the Matter is . . .
This is a bad Yankee team. I hear talk about luck and runs scored vs. runs against and their great line-up and Hughes and Clemens. . . The fact is they're 23-30. They pitch badly, they field badly, the manager is lost not knowing what to do. You don't go 15-24 because of bad luck. You go 15-24 because you have a bad team. Mussina and Abreu and Damon and Giambi and Cano and Rivera are famous names, but look at the stats they've compiled.
The seaon will be a third over tomorrow and, with a win, the Yankees will be on pace to go 72-90.

[/ QUOTE ] andy: you are wrong. it's as simple as that. the yankees are not going to lose 90 games and i'd be surprised if they lost 80. mussina can't pitch 5 innings and strike out 1 batter though.

[/ QUOTE ] yes we're homers because we think that the yankees' pythag record suggests they're going to have a much better second half, or that at least half the yankee hitters hitting absurdly below projection/expectation will pick it up.

Re: The Fact of the Matter is . . .
All I can go by is the evidence. 23-30. OK, maybe they're not this bad. Maybe. But they're nowhere close to a playoff caliber team. They're 10th in the league in ERA. They have 4 saves. The team that's in last place in team ERA has 13. Their save $ is 29%; the next worst team is at 57%. Their pitchers have struck out the fewest numnber of batters by far, yet given up the 3rd most walks. They have the second fewest quality starts. The right fielder has the lowest OPS, by far, of any AL right fielder. The center fielder is 9th out of 13; so is the 2nd baseman, two players that are supposed to be key elements of their lineup; the 1st baseman is 11th. The DH is injured, out indefinitely. Out of the pen, Myers, Proctor, Farnsworth, Henn, Villone, Bean and Vizcaino have combined for 78 walks against 68 strikeouts. One guy who's started four games for them has 15 walks and 6 strikeouts.
Mussina is 38. Rivera is 37. A-Rod, who was carrying the offense, hit .400 throuh April 23; he's hitting .224 since April 24. Pain me as it does to admit it, I don't see any upside.
