New York Yankees' Midseason Report Card (Part Two)

On Monday, we examined the performance of the Yankees' position players in the first half. Today, we hand out grades to the pitching staff, manager and new Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees are attempting to qualify for the postseason for an unprecedented ninth time in a decade. The Yankees of the 1950s went to the World Series eight times, while the Atlanta Braves qualified for the playoffs eight times in the 90s.

The Wild Card was instituted in 1995; the Yankees have won seven divisions and one Wild Card this decade.
