QUite frankly I don't know how they keep doing it, they must be chuckling in the clubhouse after thee game. Damon's return is imminent, Cano is expected back in a week(hes the guy they miss the most now), Matsui has been running throwing and catching with the team and even took swings off the batting tee yesterday. Hes expected back in about 2 weeks. Sheff is ahead of schedule according to a VERY good source, and will be back by September 1st. I really don't see how they can miss the playoffs with those guys coming back. They have 64 games left to play and 23 of them incredibly are against Baltimore and Tampa bay, lol. Bet against them at your own peril.

More than half of their remaining games are against Boston, Toronto, Minnesota, Chicago, LA/Anaheim, and Detroit.

No playoffs for the Yankees with that pitching staff.
