The Yankees lost their 3rd straight game to drop to 21-27. An absolutely unbelievably awful record considering their massive payroll and their roster full of all stars and future hall of famers. The loss puts them 12.5 games behind the Red Sox who are rolling along at 34-15.

The Yankees can't really be this bad, can they? They have scored 25 runs more than their opponents which would usually lead to a record well over .500 but the Yanks awful record in close games has them struggling.

I do think the Yankees will eventually turn things around somewhat and they'll probably finish over .500 for the year but their chances of catching the Red Sox seems extremely small right now.
