Are the Yankees going to come back in the second half of the season?

The Yankees don't have the pitching to make a comeback this year. The AL Central has several competitive teams and I don't think they will all fall apart during the remainder of the season. Clemens hasn't looked as good as he did last year (might have something to do with the fact that the NL stinks out loud or that he's 106 years old). Pavano is a head case and Moose and Petite aren't what they once were. Yankee fans may have to face the fact that this year might not be their year.

of course they are. they always do. i have faith in them. red sox can only be on top for so long. and its usually only until the all star break and then all the glory goes to there heads and they begin to fumble. Yankees will def come out of this slump they are in.

Ya know Jack.. I used to like you... but a Yankee fan?*sigh* I've lost all hopes! LOL I think they'll stage a bit of comeback as they always do but I don't think this is their year to take it all the way. Did I mention GO BOSTON?!!!!!!! Ooops! hehehehehe

i dont think they will to catch up with the red sox beckett is their best pitcher and he has been hurt and schilling has been to they come back and the red sox play the d rays 17 times in the second part of the year they suck those are guarented wins for them the yankees might win wildcard but not pennant

I say yes too (and not because I'm a diehard yankee fan ;-) Seriously, though, they still have the top offensive team in the league. Abreu, Cano, and Damon are finally coming around. A- Rod will get even more chances, and it seems like he will continue delivering. Phil Hughes is going to come around soon, and will finally provide the Yankees with some reliable pitching at the 4 or 5 spot. Wang is beginning to show his Cy- Young candidate form. Moose will come around sooner or later. Petite will finally get the run support he needs. Clemens seems to be getting better and better. He will definetley get his 14 wins. Right now, for about the next month, they're facing sub- 500 clubs, so this is the best time to get started. Let's go yanks!

I ama huge Yankees fan, but I have to say, I don't think they have it this year. Don't get me wrong, I wish they would take it all the way and win the pennent, but they seem to be a little on the slacker side this year, and to be honest, if the Yankees don't win it, someone else better take it away from Boston!!!!

Whats wrong with the yankees!!they have an all-star team and the money to get more players!They should be winning every game..GO DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!

You better believ it! The Yanks will make the playoffs. No doubt about it!

I also believe them will come back,they are very good they are the strongest.

Go Yankees!!!! Let's hope they can pull it off!

yes..I believe in them.. I know they can do it...

well, you never know...it they continue to play terrible, than no...however they need to shape up and get back on track. I don't think they will catch boston to get first place. They may just get the wild card berth if they are lucky

I've been a Yankee fan for as long as I can remember. My parents used to take us to games when me and my sis were little. My opinion: No, they will not come back from this. And it's going to take a few years before they're any good again. It's not enough to have good batters on the team. They also need to have good pitching. And yes, even tho they have the esteemed Rocket, he's old. As is most of the pitching staff. George needs to stop all the crazy trading for older players and let the farm teams build up some good players. Think about it, Jeter, Rivera, and Posada have all been with the team for 12 years. Cano and Melky are the youngest players on the team. They need to get rid of the grandpas and bring in some younger players. Also, Torre needs to start believing in his old pitching staff. The bullpen is WAY overworked, because if the pitcher gets in trouble, Joe's pulling them out in the 4th or 5th innings. With 80 something pitches!!! I understand that since they are old, they need to be "protected" a little, but come on!! Protect them if they get tired, but don't pull them because they get 2 guys on base and have thrown 76 pitches. Let them work out of it. Maybe if they did that, they wouldn't be in such a mess now.
