The Yankees are two games under .500 and eight games back of the wild card.
In my mind, the team has until the All-Star break to get above .500 and reduce the wild-card deficit to six games, preferably five. If not, the season won't truly be over, but all but the most-improbable comeback will be an impossibility.
Andy Pettitte continues his run of not winning when he gives up more than one run. He was not extraordinary and was lucky to give up but two runs with 13 baserunners in seven innings, but c'mon. And Bobby Abreu hit eighth. If he's your eighth hitter, there'd better be four or five 100-RBI men ahead of him or else he's not worth having on the team.
The Orioles deserve some credit for keeping their nerve at the plate and pitching very well, but they shouldn't be stealing games from anyone.
And in case you've noticed the pattern, again the Yankees lost a game without Mariano Rivera ever entering. He's just a museum exhibit at this point.
