Losing a series to the White Sox and splitting a series against the Tigers is, in layman’s terms, “not what you want.” Following that up with dropping the first game against the Athletics, who are chasing the Yankees in the Wild Card race, made things worse. Ever since I suggested the Yankees had a chance to steal back the division, they decided to prove me wrong. I broke the Yankees and I am sorry.
Fortunately, there was at least one bright spot from Monday in my road to redemption.
