Blast Back
I hear a lot of people freaking out because the Yankees are currently hanging out in last place. Actually, I think I hear a lot more freaking out by Mets fans, but whatever.
Anyway, as I type this, the Yankees record is 24-25. Yeah, no one wants to be under .500, but hey it is what it is. Yeah, no one wants to be in last place, but that also is what it is.
However, the Yankees are only 5.5 games behind Boston.
Isn't it better to be in last place and 5.5 games behind the first place team, than in second place and 10.5 games behind the first place team as was the case on May 25, 2007?
On another note, is the AL East the best division in baseball at the moment? If both the Yankees and Orioles win today, the AL East will be the only division in baseball where every team is at least .500.
