OK folks:
Here's a quick thought on the Yankees and their quest to win the AL East.
I remember back in May, when the deficit was 14 1/2 games, the so-called experts that I have written about so many times were ready to throw dirt on the Yankees and declared them dead as far as making the playoff let alone win the East.
Now that the once insurmountable deficit is just 1 1/2 games, those same experts are now pointing to the Yankee payroll and how this is where everybody expected to them be.
What?!?!?!?!?
I even heard one guy say the Red Sox are kind of hoping the Yankees will win the division, so that all the pressure to win will be on the Yankees as East champs instead of Boston.
Now, listen, even with all the momentum the Bombers have right now, I'm not ready to give them the division. We all know how the Blue Jays, Devil Rays and Orioles play the Yanks for the most part.
But isn't funny how all the so-called experts who left the Yankees for dead a few months ago, now have them ticketed to win the World Series?
It's nice to be able to change with the wind, isn't it?
Until next time, take care and -- especially to all my Jewish brethren as we head toward our high holy day of Yom Kippur -- God bless.
