Am I the only one to think Yankee season is a Groundhog day movie? Every May they struggle - fall behind and by October they are in the play-off?
Since 2004
2005 - Journeyman Small and Rockie's reject Shacon takes the Yankees to the play-off after a bad bad start.
2006 - Phillies give Bobby A and Corey L in a gift-wrap to Cashman - Yankees salvage their season.
2007 - 14.5 games out by May - Yankees almost catch the Sox with what must be Joe Torrie's best managed and last season in NY. Yankees also were helped by the Sox acquisition of Gagne.
I will not take Yankee's out of the AL East or Playoff race unless they are mathematically eliminated.
