The other thing is that the other teams that were supposed to be competing with the Yankees for the wild card [along with the Red Sox] were the Tigers and Indians. They are not doing well either. Do I think the Yankees will have a better record than one of those two teams come October.

Can you not say their pitching will regress then (especially Rasner, and the loss of Joba from the pen?)
