Subway Series
Thanks to Jason Giambi, heads won't be rolling in the Yankee camp (for now, anyway). His walk-off single in last night's game against the Mets prevented the Amazins from pulling off a sweep at the soon-to-be discarded Yankee Stadium.
This will temporarily cover up the morale problem in Yankee Nation. The Bombers are caught in a vicious cycle that can quickly accelerate. The Yankees are playing poorly. Fans and players get restless. Then, the Yanks continue to play poorly. So on, and so forth. You get the idea.
Yes, the Yanks have time to improve. But, there is ample opportunity for them to do worse. If the Yankees don't elevate their level of play soon, this could be a long, bitter summer. I certainly hope that happens. The infighting would be interesting to follow.
