the point is the yankees were playing terribly early, and looked awful, i was one of the people saying that. now the yankees have shown that this team can play well and is legit. the hot streak, while it won't be this good forever, has shown new heights that most people didn't think were possible.

daryn you have to look at things in context. saying "boston are 25-19 and the yankees are 24-21, obviously boston is way better than the yankees" is just foolish. do you see why?

Actually, I think you are the one not putting things into proper perspective. The Yanks have been very hot, but they are still behind in the standings. How can you just discount the terrible beginning of the season?

THE FACT THAT THEY ARE 4 GAMES BACK RIGHT NOW IS INCONSEQUENTIAL.

ok, obviously the yankees won't be a .925 team for the whole season, but they have proven that they can be a great team this year, which was unproven when they were 11-18 or whatnot. huge difference. the fact is, i was sitting around when we were getting swept by the drays and saying "man, maybe we are terrible and the season is a waste". now, no one is saying that. the yankees have proven they can play great, which not everyone was sure of.

They've shown they can play .300 baseball just as much as they have shown they can play .800 baseball so making any claim either way is idiotic. They are a solid team but I will still be surprised if they make the playoffs since their division is so tough overall.

jeeezus, i can't believe someone is actually saying this. you really don't know much about baseball, or are just a complete hater.

voltron. · #**686** 05-24-2005, 10:50 PM

so right now you think the yankees' chance of making the playoffs or winning the division is the same as when they were 11-18?

I think a good judgement point will be at the end of the series with boston at fenway. that is a big series. if the yankees win the series with detroit and boston i would say 90% they make the playoffs.

daryn · #**689** 05-24-2005, 11:05 PM

sometimes i don't know if we're reading the same posts.

do you really disagree that the yankees are underperforming at this point?

hint: don't look at the last 15 games or whatever, look at the season.

You clearly don't understand the longterm aspect of baseball if you truly believe what you typed here.
