I might have to start rooting for the Nationals.

The NY Yankees' "mess" is as follows:

• Despite a 13-15 start, the Yankees won 103 regular season games.
• After losing their first eight games vs. the Red Sox, the Yankees won nine of their next ten games vs. the Red Sox.
• The Yankees easily won the AL East.
• The Yankees won more regular season games than any team in baseball.
• The Yankees swept the ALDS.
• The Yankees have a 3-2 lead in the ALCS.
• The final two ALCS games are at Yankee Stadium where the Yankees have, like, 18 walkoff wins and where they have won, like, 35 of their last 43.
• Out of the 30 teams in MLB, one has advanced further than the Yankees.
• The Yankees are one win away from the World Series.

Let me repeat that: The Yankees are one win away from the World Series. Pettitte, Sabathia, Rivera ready to go.

Go back to the day when ARod got hip surgery and tell me you wouldn't take this kind of "mess."
