How Are the Yankees Still in Playoff Contention?
August 26, 2014 by numberFire.com · 4 Comments
Joe Girardi and Brian Cashman must be sorcerers.
That can be the only explanation for the New York Yankees’ ability to hang around the periphery of American League playoff contention. Their rotation lost starters CC Sabathia , Masahiro Tanaka , and Ivan Nova for the season, and only recently got Michael Pineda back from the 60-day disabled list. Outfielder Alfonso Soriano was released by the team after putting up a -1.1 fWAR, and we’ve seen another high-priced outfield free agent, Carlos Beltran , perform worse than a replacement player as well.
Yet after beating the Kansas City Royals 8-1 on Monday night, the Yankees are 68-61, six games back of the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East and 2.5 games behind the Seattle Mariners in the AL Wild Card.

I get the same thing. But if I right-click (in Firefox) and choose View Page Source, then save it, I am able to open and read it in my browser.
