They've scored only 123, putting them on pace for a measly 738 runs- which would be a 230 run regression from last season, and light-years below the necessary projections to stay in contention.
So I looked back over the last fives seasons to see how our current April stacks up.
The worst offensive months:
2008- 123 (April)
2007- 131 (April) 968, 13.5%
2006- 118 (June) 930, 12.7%
2005- 123 (April) 886, 13.9%
2004- 104 (April) 897, 11.6%
2003- 106 (June) 877, 12.1%
The final number is the total number of runs the team was able to score by the end of the season. A perfect split would produce 16.7% each month.
The Yankees, with either older lineup playing in cold weather, have a considerable history of slow starts, especially offensively.
Our team BABIP is .282. Last season it was .318; in 2006, .315; in 2005, .297; in 2004, .285; in 2003, .295.
May will bring happier times for the offense, the team, and the fans.

okay.. this has nothing to do with this post.
in response to this post… if history tells us anything, the offense will pick up. the facts are this- they are only one game under .500 and only 3 back in the loss column, so it could be a lot worse.
