What Does Losing 22 of 42 Games Mean?
Not that much. Consider the following table:| Start Date | End Date | W | L |
| 5/28/1995 | 7/13/1995 | 20 | 22 |
| 7/7/1996 | 8/22/1996 | 20 | 22 |
| 4/29/2000 | 6/18/2000 | 20 | 22 |
| 4/19/2003 | 6/4/2003 | 20 | 22 |
| 4/7/2007 | 5/23/2007 | 20 | 22 |
| 4/1/2008 | 5/15/2008 | 20 | 22 |
Six Yankee teams have had a stretch of 20-22 since 1995 including this year's versions. All have made the playoffs to this point. Mediocre stretches happen. Just because in 2008 it's happening at the start of the season instead of the middle isn't really all that meaningful.
This team will hit, and they will score. When they start doing that, they'll start winning.
