I could be wrong about that though... Considering Toronto has yet to play a team from the AL East, and everyone else in the division has at least nine such games under their respective belts, I would call them "prepared to play teams <i>not</i> in the AL East." The Yankees are 3-6 in the division... which is the worst among teams not named Toronto, who is 0-0. Boston is 8-2. Wake me when the Yankees are prepared to win ten in a row... Boston just did, and seven of those were against teams in their division. I hope you were prepared for <i>that</i>! The Yankees sure weren't! ;) [407] Well if you believe this Yankees team isn’t a .500 team as of now, you’re probably right.

When your playoff chances start depending on late season collapses by multiple teams, I'd say we've moved from realistic shot to hope and pray.

In a lost season everyone would have rather seen some young guys show what they have. That was August 23.

Yes, it's early in the year, but I went early in the year last year, and no lower deck seats were available. This year, there were plenty. Even though it was the Mets AAA team visting, and Phil Hughes vs. Freddy Garcia. I think the corporations who used to buy season tickets passed this year. I went to several games last year, from April to August, and there were never any lower deck seats available. This year, I had my pick, including right behind home plate.

And Posada's 37. Damon's 35. Matsui is 35. Jeter is 35. Gardner sucks. Melky is probably slightly less sucky. Punting the early parts of the season because a team of the old, hurt, and not very good SHOULD be able to make up for it in August seems unwise.
