Awfully grim outlook to have considering they have the best record in baseball.
The Yanks don't need dominant starting pitching to win.
They just need their starters to keep them in the game until they can get into the other team's pen.

I don't think we will need him.
CC is only missing 2 starts and was shut down as a precaution.
Honestly, as it stands now, I don't think anyone in the East will catch them.
Tampa will probably make a run, but they don't have the sticks to keep up.
Toronto is decimated with injuries, and Baltimore just isn't ready yet.
Boston still has a long way to go, I think trading Youk is the beginning of a complete overhaul, I think they will be sellers.

I wouldn't rule Boston out. They are going to get Ellsbury back in about a month, Crawford in a couple weeks. If A. Gonz can get going they are going to have a scary lineup.

I agree, just when it looked like a lock, something goes haywire.
Never seen so many pitching snafus in my life.
The Sox are not done yet, we just havnt been cooperating, they`ve been winning lately, and when they get the other 2/3 of the outfield back.

All that being said the only way the Yankees don't win the east is they totally just stop hitting homeruns, or the pitching completely falls off.

Our pitching has been amazing, keeping us in it till the bats wake up in some inning.
Pitching is key, watch.
