Yankees are in first place after 29 games.

Last season, the Replacement Yankees were 1.5 games out after 29 games. Which is what matters.

There are quite a few observations one can make about the 2014 Yankees, but Mike Lupica hasn't got the time for that:

"After 29 games last season, already looking like a replacement team, the Yankees were 18-11.

After 29 games this season, they are 16-13.

Just sayin’ "

After 29 games, the 1977 Yankees were 17-12 ... and they won the World Series!

After 29 games, the 2012 Giants were 14-15 ... and they won the World Series!

Hooray!

We're going to win the World Series!
