It was fun while it lasted.

Lots of articles about the sudden collapse of the Underdog Yankees, two from the same paper ...

But at least Ken Davidoff called it a week ago:

"They don’t hit too many home runs, don’t make too much money, and don’t fall short of ludicrously high expectations. Most pertinent, they don’t motivate the masses to say, 'We need Jeter, A-Rod, Teixeira, Youkilis, etc.!!!'
To the contrary, the latest working theory I’ve heard while stumbling through Yankee Universe is that some fans don’t want the injured guys to come back at all, that the Yankees are better off with the 'fun' current group.
There’s an easy response to those folks: Be careful what you wish for. The more players the Yankees can activate off the disabled list, the higher chance they will have at turning this special start into a special season.
There’s nothing fun in an undermanned team turning a fast start into a heartbreaking finish. Just ask the 2007 Mets."
