Small Consolation? Yankees are Just as Bad

I think there's already been an intentional overreaction thread, so I offer this instead.  The Indians and the Yankees have performed similarly badly so far this year in most areas (although the Yankees have more wins).  Thus, the two teams have identical OBP:  .354.  Team ERA's are virtually the same:  Yanks at 5.88/Tribe at 5.86.  WHIP favors the Yanks, but not by much 1.53 vs. 1.6.  Identical fielding percentages (.985).  And so on.  I know one can probably find other statistics that reveal some differences, but the bottom line is that these two teams have both played poorly so far this year.  Since the season is NOT looking promising to say the list, perhaps we can change the rules and make it into a competition between the Yankees and the Indians?

No consolation.

Get your irony detectors out folks. I thought the reference to intentional over-reactions would do the trick.

This was in reference to an apparently deleted post. Not aimed at CU Adam.

This does me no good. Sorry.

Sometimes, I just like to b****.

Actually winning > schadenfreude

I fail to see why my joy over the Yankees doing poorly is shameful.

Who said it was?

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Last time I took consolation in another teams misery, the Red Sox then ripped off 10 wins.

I’d say it’s a consolation if I believed this team will turn it around. I don’t. Nothing past or present tells me they will. TBH, I hope I am wrong.
