The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 In all seriousness, I ask this. As long as the season is, how many games below .500 would it take for the Yankees to dig themselves too deep between now and the All-Star break? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 3 games below .500. I am assuming the leading team would be somewhere around 8 games above .500 at that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 I'd say at least 8 games under. With the Wild Card 3 games under isn't that great. That of course is assuming no team pulls away, and right know I don't see that happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 With the wild card, I'd say about 5 games under. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 25, 2004 Yankees are 2 games under .500 right now. Vasquez pitching on 3 days rest tommorow against Pedro. Hopefully that puts them at 8-11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 As an aside, I wouldn't count on the Yankees being below .500. Soon, they'll get to clean up on the AL Central. They're down right now because they've had six games against the AL East's other elite teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 With the wild card, I'd say about 5 games under. I'd still give them a shot. That's assuming we don't have a runner away Wild Card team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 In doing the math, I figure we're 80 games in. Last year, the Red Sox won the Wild Card with a .586 Winning Percentage. If the wild card leader is on that pace, they'll have 47 wins. 5 games under would be 35 wins, a difference of twelve games. That's not an insurmountable lead, but its only accomplished once every twenty years or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 Yankees' next ten games: 1. Boston 2/3/4. Oakland 5/6/7. Kansas City 8/9/10. Oakland If they want to pull a winning record out of their ass, they'd better stand up. They can't afford to not sweep the Royals because the A's won't be too easy, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 If it's at the All-Star break it's more likely 88-90 games played. That of course would make the task even harder, going by last years numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as the season is, how many games below .500 would it take for the Yankees to dig themselves too deep between now and the All-Star break? I'd say about 6. Give the best team a 10 over .500 record, and that's alot to make up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 The Yankees are going to be catching the A's at a good time because they are in the middle of a 19 games in 20 days stretch with 16 of them on the road. They are only 6-6 to this point during this stretch and are in danger of getting swept in their only home series today by the Angels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 Hahahahaha. The Yankees are on a slippery slope indeed. If they keep this up, they'll be the Tampa Bay Devil Rays' bitch by July. If they keep sucking like this, what ramifications does this have for the high-priced guys like K-Rod, Giambi, Sheffield? Think Steinbrenner is going to start trading or releasing these guys after this year? It's interesting. Now watch, after I predict a third-place finish for New York they win 7 in a row Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 25, 2004 If he releases them he still has to pay them so let him. Nobody will take Giambi in a trade unless the Yanks agree to pay 75% of what's left of his contract, I don't think anybody would take Sheffield unless most of his contract is paid for by the Yanks, they won't get rid of A-Hole.
