Mathematically Possible

The Good

Kuroda put up a quality start, and Granderson hit a homerun.  Life appears to still flow out of the Yankees.  Also good, it's still mathematically possible for us to make the post season, and there's still an outside chance that the Yankees could catch on fire and play good baseball.  It's possible.

The Bad

The Yankees lost the rubber match against Toronto, leaving the Yankees 3.5 games out of the wild card.  At least we know Joba won't be back next year.

The Ugly

I bought tickets to Saturday's game in August thinking that the Yankees might be in contention, playing inspired baseball, and in easy reach of the wild card.  The Yankees still are in contention, and are not out of the wild card race, but they are not playing inspired baseball, as evidenced by a series loss to the last place team in our division.
