Half of the Yankees’ schedule is over.
Is their season?
The Bombers lost their fifth straight game on Sunday night, 4-2, to the Orioles, who swept away their AL East rivals at Camden Yards for the first time in more than eight years.

The Red Sox had the same exact record ,as the yankees do this year, after 81 games last year and were 6.5 gb.
A few weeks back, the Post compared this Yankee team to the 2012 Red Sox. It was highly amusing.
Happy Canada Day!
Based on bbref's Pythagorean winning percentage calculation, the Yankees SHOULD be at 39-42, and not 42-39.
Someone (source?) noted that probably speaks to Mariano Rivera's value as a closer (26 saves to date).
They are also 23rd in the league in runs scored, 23rd in OBP, and 25th in SLG.
Bronx Bummers...
"source?"
Castig said it on a broadcast recently, I don't know if he was repeating what he heard or came up with it on his own.
