The Yankees didn't drag this out.
The Bad
It is what it is. The only realistic scenario for the Yankees to make the playoffs began with sweeping Tampa Bay, something they failed at after the first game of the series. Now we're technically not eliminated, but we would have to win every game, and have Cleveland and all the other competing teams lose every game. Possible? Yes. Likely? No.
The Ugly
The Yankees are playing like they've already been eliminated. A 4 hit shutout by Tampa Bay, combined with another terrible outing out of Kuroda places the Yankees one loss away from elimination, but in their hearts, they've already been eliminated.
Not Last Night
My vote is for the Yankees to take the rest of the season to just swing for the fences. What do they have to lose?
