It's that time of the year again, and today the Yankees will (weather permitting) kick off their last year in Yankee Stadium.
The past few years they have got behind early in the season and have had to play great the rest of the way. In 2006 and 2007, after their slow starts, I started keeping track of every set of nine games, hoping to win at least six of each. On average, they almost kept up that winning percentage, coasting to the division title in 2006 and almost catching the Red Sox last year after a miserable start.
This year, I'm not waiting for them to dig themselves into a hole; the goal is to win six out of nine all year. I think 108 wins is a pretty good bet to win the division and would be a great way to close out Yankee Stadium (if they play well in the postseason also, of course). Here's a progress report to keep track of how they're doing on this goal.
