Question

Why do you think the Yankees are always so much better in the second half ?

Answer 1

becuz  most of the players are older so dey dont do good in cold weather so when the weather warms up the team goes on a run

Answer 2

It's simple. The Yankees are finding their groove now and the talent they have was bound to get better sooner or later.

Answer 3

The Yankees are always doing better in the second half because of the trade dead line. The Yanks like to procrastinate, or wait until the last moment, to make a trade and acquire new players. This year they got Nady and Marte from the Pirates, on July 24th, exactly a week before the trade dead line (July 31). The Yanks tend to wait to the last moment, in the second half, to acquire players. The trade deadline is in the second half, when the Yanks acquire their new players. That's why the Yanks do so much better in the second half than they do in the first half.

Answer 4

haha. thats just their style.

they fool everyone in the first half.

just like the rays.

rays are pretenders,

Answer 5

Because they are! Look at them in the first half of this season and look at them now.  They looked like they were at a funeral in the first half, and now they're on fire!! An 8 game winning streak and if they win tonight (which they WILL) it will be their third sweep in a row.  And they'll ALSO be in second place and Boston will be in third!!

Get your broom ready.

Answer 6

pressure?

Answer 7

because they cant do any worse then in the first half

Answer 8

Depth?

I would say that they buy the missing pieces necessary to make the playoffs around the trading deadline, but they are pretty well rounded as well.  Not every team can put in a quality replacement at every position when injuries occur.  Then again, nobody else pays 1/4 billion per year for a playoff spot either.

(and I know the Yankee payroll is a littel over $200 million, but if you add the luxury tax they pay it gets closer to 1/4 billion)

Answer 9

I think because they realize , they get a reality check its the second half and if they ant to make in the playoffs they have to look in the mirror and realize , They have to kick it up a notch and the trades they do in the deadline help tremendously for the Yankees
