It was inevitable, a Yankee no Post Season year for Derek Jeter. It is amazing how many Yankee broadcasters and fans feel it is an inalienable right of Fall for the Yankees to play October baseball. The season is no officially over and the blaming has begun; but yet among the blaming their are still cries of the Yankkes are hanfinig in their for the Wild Card.
This clearly shows the Yankees don't have pitching and don;t have the hitting required for Post Season. Home runs don't put World Series Trophies in the case, unless you have men on base when the ball goes out.
My Red Soxs friends think I am pronouncing the Yankees dead too early. I don't think they have any magic tricks. However given the Yankees lackluster performance in the the last five preseason, maybe this is the kick in the butt they need. They will wake up tot the reality they don't go to the playoffs by divine right, they get through through consistently playing great baseball.
