The under/over is still July 15th.

But the under is getting all the action lately.

Joe Torre is the last person to realize that his team is mailing it in:

“I’ve been very proud of this ballclub, the fact they’re coming to play,” he said. “We’re just not firing on all burners right now. I really don’t have any issue with anything other than the final score.”

His predictable Torre-like reaction is almost impossible to believe at this point.

The Yankees are 10 games out of first place in the AL East and 1/2 game out of last place in the AL East.

The Yankee are in sixth place in the wild card race, 6 1/2 games out.

The Yankees have the 22nd best record in baseball.


Of course most of the blame lies with the players. Of course they should be self-motivated. But the manager of this team is paid $7 million and his tired shtick clearly isn't working anymore. It hasn't been working in years. What you saw in the 2006 ALCS should have been the final straw. This team may not turn it around with a new manager, but they're never going to turn it around with Torre as their manager
