Put yourself in the Yankees’ pinstripes.
They have scratched and clawed their way from a bad start, to playing winning baseball.
They woke up Saturday morning with 22 wins. They had won seven of their last 10 games. What did they have to show for it?
Zilch.
They were last in their division, eight games back of the 30-win Rays.
If they called the National League Central home, their 22 wins would have been enough for sole control of first place.
So, unequivocally yes, is the answer when you have wondered at times if things could possibly get worse for a slow-to-launch Cardinals team.
