CHICAGO — The question that popped into one slightly jet-lagged mind (we sat on the tarmac for a while) as the Yankees slogged through a 5-4 loss to the White Sox on Thursday night at Guaranteed Rate Field (worst ballpark name ever):
At this point on the schedule, would the Yankees rather win as many games as possible by overcoming mediocre-at-best efforts from their starting pitchers? Or, for the sake of the bigger picture, would they settle for one loss in which their starter goes long and pitches well?
Because right now, the Yankees’ rotation looks less reliable than a sweater vest in a blizzard.
