The Yankees will not make the playoffs

After a loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, the Yankees are now 5 games back of the wild card with only 5 games to play. Barring a complete miracle, they will not make the playoffs. This is a sad conclusion to the careers of Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte. The Yankees will probably also be bad next year, as they will continue to cut costs. But in 2015, there is hope.
