they will never learn? how do u say that about the most consistant team in baseball. Everyteam has its weaknesses and thier strengths. As horrible as this sounds for the rest of the MLB the yankees can improve. And the team is loaded wiith good hitters see I dunno bout anyone else, but the yankees might not have bunch of 300 hitters but wut they have right now is working Hell i cannot complain at all over what they have been doing over the past 9 years
Live and die by the long ball? ehhh not so true, jeter jorge bernie, cairo, wilson, all players who ar not expected to produce alot of homeruns tho jeter has started to gain power and is def hitting the ball longer and jorge has become a long ball hitter You can really say that any team lives and dies by everything, just depends on wut they did that series or season...
and i dont see them in trouble this season, they started off poorly but now they have become the team that was expected and the team they have been over the years. Are they in trouble? nah, they should pull off a few more deals this year if needed which will fill any voids
Contraras was the same way he started slow, the season is still young and theres still time for him to calm down. Javier is def the best pitcher and hes one of the tops in the league, Mussina has been pullin himself together and has been doing a hell of a job winning 8 in a row. Thier ERAs are way to high tho, but, thier offense helps them out so were ok there.
and i believe in baseball any team can beat anyteam. Im not afraid of other teams, so far so good, Yankees have a .649 winning percentage[ the only TEAM with a wining % of 600 or higher( StL is at.597)] and as of tonight they are 6.5 games up on boston, (biggest lead over a second place team) Lucky for you detroit plays in a crappy division were being 3 games under 500 and havin a win percentage of .480 only leaves you 5 games back outta first with nearly identical records, tampa bay is at .500 and they are 11 games out ...
