The Yankees got smacked around by the Braves on Monday night. They are now 60-59 — one game over .500, three games back in the loss column for last place in the AL East and five games back in the loss column for the final AL wild card.
It is not what you want. But the Bombers have had bad seasons before. They have missed the playoffs before. As long as they manage to win 82 games and avoid their first losing season in forever, people will move on rather efficiently. At least from the on-field portion of the debacle.
