Explain this to me if you will Tim. Couple of months ago you SAID that the Yankees wouldn't make the playoffs. Now you say if they don't get it done its a monumental disappointment.
Which one is it? Or does it change daily?

Keep Whining Yankee fan. Just like all the other frontrunners. Two games into the playoffs and already a must win against the lowly Tigers. What did they lose 30 of their last 50. Pathetic.

Where was Mr. Clutch Jeter yesterday.

Tonight the old man goes. WOW. Randy Johnson with the season on the line. Pathetic.

Okay, it does sort of change. The Yankees have a way better team than I gave them credit for. You were right about Sheffield and Matsui coming back and what an impact it would have. That is the best offensive lineup from top to bottom I have ever seen. I was very wrong about them.

They are in a position where they should steamroll teams. Its a very strange season in that there arent that many very good teams in the playoffs to beat. The A's have very good pitching but little offense. They have the best shot to knock off the Yankees. The Mets are very talented offensively but still not in the same league as the Yankees, and there pitching leaves a lot to be desired (albeit Glavine was really great against a terrible offensive team last night).

How can any Yankee fan say right now that anything less than a World Series win this season (with that lineup and the lack of very many good teams to beat) wouldnt be a huge disappointment? I really dont get it. If I was a Yankee fan I would be disappointed if they didnt cruise to a title these next 3 weeks.

I was very wrong about them. I can admit it. They're very, very good.

The lowly Tigers?????? These lowly Tigers are in the playoffs, that's more than a lot of other teams can say. How are the Red Sox and White Sox doing now??? That's what I thought!

GO TIGERS!!!!!!!

Everyone wants to talk about the fact that the Yankees "season is on the line" with Randy Johnson taking the mound tonight. How bout the Tigers? They're throwing Kenny Rogers out there tonight. Think about it for a sec. Kenny freakin Rogers. Ask Mets fans their thoughts on Mr. Rogers in the playoffs. Good chance the Yankees score more tonight than the Giants and Jets combined on Sunday.
