Their mystique is on life support. The New York Yankees haven't reached the World Series in five years and are dangerously close to missing the playoffs for the first time in 15 years entering a critical three-game series with the Mariners.
The hope in the Yankee clubhouse is that the Bombers can pull off an improbable late run similar to the historic rallies of the Colorado Rockies and Philadelphia Phillies last season.
The Yankees have been besieged with injuries, underachieving stars and subpar starting pitching this season.
And at first pitch Friday, they fully knew Boston was cruising to a victory over the Texas Rangers; coupled with New York's 3-1 loss to the Mariners on Friday night, New York is now 8 1/2 games behind the Red Sox in the wild-card race.
