Schadenfreude 299: (A Continuing Series)

Joel Sherman, Post:

The season is 60 percent full.

That stands as Yankee optimism right now. That more than half the season remains to honor their pedigree and payroll.

But that is it.

Because the 40 percent of the schedule that has been played has been so empty. . . .

[T]his is not a one-year thing. The Yankees had the AL's sixth-best record in the 60-game season last year. Watching them, did you think that club was going to play better if there were the usual 100 more games in front of them?
