Prediction: Yankees Sweep A's.

That's not my prediction. It's the level-headed prediction of shiny, happy Hall of Famer, Ryne Sandberg:

"When a team with high expectations is playing poorly, that's when the manager can really make a difference. He can switch the lineup around a bit and do other things a little differently, like put on hit-and-runs and call for bunts, to get the team going.

Sometimes, a turnaround can happen in one series. Sometimes, one series is all it takes to change a team's attitude and get a team on a roll.

Even when a club is losing more games than expected, you have to remember the bottom line – that a baseball season is a marathon and not a sprint. After six months, the best teams usually rise to the top.

The ascent could begin this weekend for a certain struggling team in the Bronx."

Thanks! I actually feel better now.

I really hope that Torre puts on a lot of bunts and hit-and-runs this weekend. That is sure to snap 'em out of it.
