BAD YANKEE NUMBERS WILL FORCE MOTIVATION

No one likes bad stats.  The Yankees can claim they don't look at numbers and don't watch the scoreboard this early on, but I'm telling you this; it doesn't matter how old you are, if you're in the baseball business, you love it and most likely you've been tallying stats in your head since little league. 

So, you want to barf? These numbers are courtesy of the New York Post and if the Yankees don't realize just how bad they are then they need to look at these stats...this will help turn it around for my Yankees because bottom line, no one likes to suck.  This my friends is motivation for my guys...Go Yankees!
