Tonight the Yankees begin a 17 games in 16 days stretch, though it’s really more like 16.5 games in 17 days because one of those games is the completion of the suspended game in Washington. I’m sure this stretch will be broken up by a rainout or three though (sobs). Anyway, I have some thoughts on the Yankees’ current state of affairs, so let’s get to them.
1. The Yankees have the best record in baseball at 42-19 — they have the second most wins in baseball despite playing the fewest games because of all the postponements — and it still feels like they have so much room for improvement.
