If the Yankees want to pull themselves out of the AL East cellar, one of the ways to do that is beat up on the bad teams — something they decidedly did not do in a bad loss last night. While the taste of that game may not be completely gone from your mouth tonight, we can all at least agree that this 7-1 win over the White Sox was more what we expect from a playoff hopeful matched up with a tire fire in a baseball uniform. Clarke Schmidt and Michael King had standout performances on the mound and the offense made a bad pitching staff pay, to set up the rubber match tomorrow.
