70 games into the season, the New York Yankees, the colossus of a franchise with the eleventy-billion dollar payroll, has a record of 38 wins and 32 losses. That's a solid season, one that keeps the Yanks within sight of the division-leading Red Sox and well within the early consideration for a wild-card playoff spot.
The other team in baseball to have a 38-32 record? That would be the San Francisco Giants, leading the race for the National League wild-card playoff spot. The experts always say that pitching and defense win championships. The Giants, with their stellar pitching and anemic offense, will put that theory to a severe test. It's a long season, but the Giants have not been anywhere close to this successful in many years. It will make for an entertaining summer.
