NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees aren't making this easy for anyone. Not for their fans, not for their ownership, not for the people entrusted with making their personnel decisions nor the people who are paid to report daily on what they could/should/might/will or won't do at the upcoming trade deadline.
Most of all, they are not making it easy for themselves.
Just when it appeared that we could all agree on a course of action come August 1 -- Sell! Sell!! SELL!!! -- they go and win four in a row, including three straight from the Baltimore Orioles, knocking the O's into a tie with the Boston Red Sox atop the AL East.
