all this talk about the yankees being finished this year, i think is total bull-s***!! this is why: our next 7 series are against TOR, TB, KC, BAL, CWS, KC, and TOR!! so our next 23 games are against sub-.500 teams!!! so for all you doubters out there: WE DEFINATELY ARE NOTTT OUT OF IT!!! tell me what you all think of this! thanks.

But what Yankees fans fail to realize is that they are 9-14 against those teams this year so why should anyone think that because they have these teams coming up on their schedule anything is going to be any different. Their main issue is the inconsistent play on the road not the strength of the schedule they have been playing. If they start winning on the road then they may have a chance but they they keep losing to sub-.500 teams on the road and that is why they are in the position they are in.
Plus you need to realize that for they Yanks to get back into it they are going to need some very good teams like the Indians, Sox, and Mariners to fall apart for them to be able to gain any significant ground in the playoff standings.

Yankee fans and the media are making a big deal about playing a lot of sub-.500 teams over the next month. What they forget is that the Yankees are sub-.500 as well. You're playing teams at your own level. The Yankees could win 2 out of 3 from each of those teams and still be 8 games back or so. The Yankees only play Boston 6 more times, so they're is not any room to gain ground. What the Yankees need is not games against poor teams, what they need is games against Boston, and they don't have it. Enjoy the Giants and Jets in October.

The Yankees can have a chance but they have to go 20-9 during tis 29 game stretch. If not they are done. When they played those teams earlier in the year they were starting guys from AA every 4th and 5th day and AAA every 3rd day and a guy from Japan who HAS NO CLUE HOW TO FOLLOW THROUGH, if Igawa would follow through on every pitch instead of every 10th pitch he would be a better pitcher (not cy Young but a servicable 5th starter).
Anyway Hughes should be back late next week or the following week he had an excellent outing in his 2nd rehab start Friday.

I really dont think my Yankees are done for.
The Red Sox are falling apart because Manny is getting old and he isnt producing like he used to, Ortiz is partly injured, and J.D. Drew is olny batting .252 Julio Lugo is batting .218
Over Dice K's last two starts he has given up ten runs and struck out 6.
And Coco Crisp is olny batting .266
Curt Schilling is on the 15 Day D.L.
And the Yankees are have a easy upcoming schedule so the Yankees are NOT out of the playoffs.
Go Yankees!

There's no quit and too much pride in a team this good to roll over and give it up.
They will play with a mission in the second half. Look for good things. Only 7 games out.

yes you are out of it the yankees have no pitching staff. i think all you yankee fans are just denieing it cause you cant take having a loosing season. so suck it up and maybe youll acually try and rebuild your team rather then trading your prospects for pitchers who suck when they come to new york. Yankees wont win a world series for a while cause boston is way to good and the devil rays are quietly building a monster team.

But I think Boston plays 14 of their next 26 vs losing teams. ANd the Yankees are still a losing team.....44-44, I believe starting today.
They have played 3 games vs losing teams since the break and are still 10 back. Even if boston goes 40-32 in their next 72, NY would have to go 51 - 24 and they haven't shown they can do that.
Eh, who knows. I will say this that it's been more fun without the Yanks in the playoff picture than it is with them in the playoff picture. I know that baseball believes that baseball begins and ends with the Yanks, but I also believe that middle america is sick and tired of them......
