What exactly were the Yankees supposed to do? Run away with everything or not?
Mike Lupica on May 25: "[The Mets] are 3 1/2 games worse than the Yankees ... who buy everybody and were supposed to run away with everything ... "
Mike Lupica on June 30: "The lead for the Yankees in the loss column is now seven. This is not the way things were supposed to work out in the AL East this time ... "

Wait a minute. That's not even changing your mind. Because how can what was "supposed to" happen ever change? That's in the past. Right? There can only be one what was "supposed to" happen. Then it either happens, or it doesn't happen.
So, you can change your mind about what will happen in the future, but you can't change what was "supposed to" happen.
I'm sorry if I'm ranting. Lupica's brain should be put in a museum. Somehow he reconciles all this in his own mind. A true testiment to the flexibility and adaptability of the human intellect.
