New York Yankees – The dog days of April are upon us

It’s April 19 and the New York Yankees find themselves banged up with twelve guys on the Injured List as if a whole season had taken it’s toll rather than just 21 days.

The team is struggling to find it’s footing here in the early going, challenged by the mass of injuries that have plagued them. It’s hard to say who the club misses more, it’s ace, it’s centerfielder or it’s catcher.

The Yankees have an 8-10 record and are 5.5 games back of the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays. Fans are baffled in the Bronx, as the Yankees lose against teams they should beat (White Sox) and beat teams who pose the greatest challenge (Red Sox).
