Pile On Now While We Have the Chance

Posted by Drew Fairservice under HardBall Talkin', New York Yankees on Apr 01, 2013


Mere hours ago I wrote that counting out the Yankees is foolish. Reckless even. They have too much talent, wizened as it might be, to be a punchline for the entire season.

But in that spirit, take a look at the Yankees Opening Day roster have a yourself a good, satsisfied moment of sheer smugness. Go ahead, the Bronx Bombers missed the playoffs once in what, twenty years? You’ve earned it, friends.

Detroit Tigers v New York Yankees - Game One

It is a weird time to be a fan of a New York baseball fan. Two different news items from this weekend highlighted that maybe, just maybe, this will be a return to the bad old days of New York baseball.
