Say what you mean to say.

"First, however, they have to get to the postseason, and Wednesday’s 8-5 loss to the last-place Blue Jays, in which CC Sabathia was battered for nine hits and five runs in seven innings, the Yankees committed three errors and went 3-for-17 with runners in scoring position, was further evidence of their first-place standing not being indicative of the type of team they are right now. The truth? They’re a .500 team – 16-16 – since July 25, the day Alex Rodriguez had his hand broken by a pitch."

Baltimore and Tampa are in the same division as the Yankees -- and since each league now has two wild cards -- the only way the Yankees will miss the postseason is if they are passed in the standings by Baltimore, Tampa, and Oakland.

Are you really saying the Yankees won't even win the wild card?

Because you seem to think "making the playoffs" and "winning the division" are precisely the same thing.
