Through April 15, 2008 the Yankees scored 56 runs.
Through April 15, 2009, the Yankees scored 51 runs.
The caveat: In 2008, the season started April 1. In 2009, it started April 6.
Thus, last year, in five more games played, for a total of fifteen games, the Yankees scored only four more runs than they have this year, through nine games.
The offensive explosion isn't limited to the Yanks-check out the Jays-but if this is what the Yanks are doing now--and they have yet to score fewer than four runs in a game, what happens when A-Rod comes back?
