The Last 50 Days

With their win today, since June 4th, the Yankees are now 28-15 – which is a winning percentage of .651 (which is as good as any team in baseball over this period of time).
Impressive, huh?
But, it’s been a weird streak. Included in this 43 game span, the Yankees had a run (from June 20th through July 4th) where they went 5-9 (in 14 games). Then again, five of those nine losses were by two runs or less.
Man, if the Yankees had won just two of those five close games…we’d be looking at a record of 30-13 in the last 50 days…a winning percentage close to seven-hundred.
Wow.
