Facts vs. Snark

"How have the Yankees been able to play like this without Alex Rodriguez around to mentor the young guys?"

I think ARod could have added some value mentoring the young guys, especially with the roster expansion. Most of the young players have been struggling.


As for how the Yankees are playing, ARod's final game was a scintillating victory over the Rays on a rainy Friday night in front of a packed house at Yankee Stadium. Following that victory on August 12th, the Yankees' record was 59-56.

Since then (i.e., since the departure of ARod), the Yankees are 10-9.


So "play like this" means what to a stupid baseball columnist? Your guess is as good as mine.



"You know that as soon as the 2016 baseball season is over the Yankees will be declared the favorites for 2017 . . . even without starting pitching!"

No.

You're wrong again.

The Yankees haven't been declared favorites for a long time.

You should get that whole stupid thing checked out when you get a chance.
