Don't get optimistic, no matter what you do.

"If you’re looking for a reason to believe in the Yankees, the past three days have been a good start. But let’s all take a deep breath. It doesn’t mean anything. At least not yet."

Don't get all existential on us.


"If they can build on it with two more wins over the Orioles, I’ll start to consider the Yankees to be true contenders. If not, then not much has changed."

The next two games are very monumental in Yankee history.

They will determine whether or not Anthony McCarron will start to consider the Yankees to be true contenders.

If that doesn't motivate the whole team, nothing else will.


"So while there are plenty of encouraging signs from the past couple days, how many times are we going to fall for the same trick? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Who gets shamed when it happens three, four or five times?"

I think your entire way of experiencing life is different than mine.

Try living in the present more often.


"If the Yankees only manage a split of the next two games, they’ll still be 6½ games out of first and have a deficit close to that large in the wild card race. Anything short of a sweep should leave the Yankees as eventual sellers. That’s what happens when you’re a .500 team after almost 100 games."

I just don't think that's true.

The Yankees are one nice winning streak away from legitimately contending for a wild card.
