If you’ve been looking for a silver lining in what’s been a depressing season for the Yankees, we were given one on Sunday night: Thanks to an uncharacteristic five-run offensive explosion from the Yankee bats, combined with the Detroit Tigers getting shutout in Chicago, the Yankees are no longer dead last in the American League in runs per game. Onward and upward to 14th in the league — watch out Seattle Mariners, you have some competition for that No. 13 spot.
Pretty much everybody around the Yankees, professionals and non-professionals alike, have chimed in at some point with an idea of what the problems are and what needs to be done to address them.
