The Yankees are a total of 1 game out of first place on August 8. That means there are 47 games left to make up a one-game deficit. If they can't do that, well, there are larger problems at work.
But then, there's the 7-game lead they have in the wild card race. If they give THAT up in 47 games, that's a catastrophe. It doesn't seem likely we'll see that happening.
Yeah, it was infuriating to watch all those Boston people celebrating like they'd beaten Mo all by themselves. Yes, it's a worry that CC has trouble with this team all of a sudden. Would have been nice if the Yankees had scored that extra run in the 9th off Papelbon and given Mo the little cushion he needed Sunday night that he doesn't need most nights. Fenway Park is a tough place. Always has been.
But is this team headed to the playoffs? Sure it is. Will it meet the Red Sox there? We can only hope.
