Of course, the real depressing parts of last season came when they were 8 games under .500 at one point. It started bad, and only got worse.

Really not much difference, is there?

We’ll have to wait until the end of the season, but so far there isn’t. They seem to have arrived @ their record in a different way.

At least the pitching hasn’t imploded yet *knock wood*

One thing I should note, however is that last year they were underperforming their pythagorean w-l record. This time around, they’re matching it.

An utterly forgettable game, Steve. Pettitte got hit hard. Tampa is turning the corner.

So, the Yankees are now 19-20 on the season. Last year, at this time, New York was 18-21.

Really not much difference, is there?

******************************

Last year, the Yankees were 18-21 and were 8.5 games behind.

This year, the Yankees are 19-20 and are 4 games behind.

When it comes to the decision, there IS a big difference, a 4.5 game difference.
