From tonight's lackluster loss to KC, which dropped the Yankees to .500:
"Runners left in scoring position, 2 out - D Jeter 1, R Cano 1, R Ibanez 3, M Teixeira 1, R Martin 1."
It's not really the runners left in scoring position that matters, it's how many scored.
Tonight, zero got home.
A more accurate summary of the Yankees' ineptitude would be RISP BA (for the game, for the month, for the season). That number is very low and shrinking fast. Imagine the number of seconds since the Big Bang and then take the inverse of that number.
21-21 record, tied for 4th (last) place, 5.5 games out of first, with the comforting notion of Phil Hughes taking the mound tomorrow trying to keep the team above .500.
It also puts Yankee fans in the unusual position of rooting for Boston to beat Baltimore.
