For starters, the Yankees aren't quite out of it yet. Close but not yet. Watch this
space, though. One thing I learned since 1996 is that anything can happen in baseball.
But I have no complaints. Who wants to listen to a Yankee fan whine? These days,
not even another Yankee fan. There is still a chance to recapture some of the magic of
the past, but they gotta start scoring some runs. All they need -- it's September 2nd
now -- is a 15 game winning streak. Or 16.

Ok, Ok -- now they're almost out of it. Almost. Looking at the evidence before us,
the way they're been playing all year and of late especially, the way they've
seemingly been whisked away in the dead of night to the west coast for games
against the worst then the best....

At least 2 Yankee announcers busied themselves for parts of Mariners games with
critiques of the other side. As Seattle was beating the Yanks 2 out of 3 they did this.
It felt not quite right somehow, like a grape called sour. But 2 of 3 is 2 of 3, however
it gets said. Dewey Wins, after all, does not necessarily mean that Dewey Wins, only
that it once was reported that way. The time has just about arrived for earnest and
fair debate on how, exactly, to spend the offseason. Just about.
