Three games into the season and many Yankee fans are already beginning to panic.

The Bombers were swept by the Rays in the opening weekend series in Tampa Bay, and while there were few — if any — positives to take from the 0-3 start, there is one thing I want to emphasize to Yankee fans:

There's still 159 games left in the season.

Most sane Yankee fans might laugh at this, but after listening to sports talk radio over the weekend and Monday, you might think the Yankees have already been mathematically eliminated from the playoff race.

It was laughable to hear some fans suggest the Yankees fire Joe Girardi and trade the majority of the team.

For their sake and the sake of some of their fans, let's hope the Yankees win at least 1 of the next three 3 games in Baltimore. With an 0-6 record heading into Friday's home opener, the Yankees will surely be hearing it from their fans.
