April- 4.62
May- 3.64
June- 3.26
July- 3.92
August- 2.20
Those are the Yankee runs/game splits for each month of the season to date. Things are what they are with respect to the injuries and the offseason and the bad contracts and the suspensions, but the bottom line is this team has sucked offensively since the calendar turned to May. It's right there in the numbers - not even up for debate like people have made it out to be the past few seasons - and each passing day it looks more and more like they're going to miss the postseason because of it.
The Yankees have scored 16 runs in their last 7 games, never scoring more than 3 in any of those 7 games. They haven't scored more than 3 in 10 of their last 12 games overall and 12 of the 17 games since the All Star break. This is a lineup that was supposed to be getting better with the returns of C-Grand and A-Rod and the addition of Soriano. Instead it's barely putting 2 runs a game on the board this month. That's unfathomably bad. I don't know what else to say about that. It's wild.
