WARNING: IF YOU ARE THE OVERLY OPTIMISTIC YANKEE FAN THAT SEES NOTHING WRONG, THIS ARTICLE ISN’T FOR YOU.
Aaron Boone: "The league has closed the gap on us. We've got to get better in every aspect."
I’m sorry??? WHAT? What gap?!
You do realize you haven’t won anything meaningful in 12 years right? This is exactly what the title suggests – the people who run the Yankees are content with just making the playoffs. In a city and franchise that expects to be contending every year, being outpaced 4-1 in World Series titles by the Red Sox over the last 17 years is not just inexcusable, it’s embarrassing.
