Quickie

Okay, so as you know I am studying for the bar and I definitely should not be wasting time writing blogs, but I just wanted to cover one quick baseball topic and then back to my studies. I wanted to get this in writing, so I can go back and say I told you so come October.

I know the New York Yankees will make the playoffs. Every single season ESPN goes on and on and on about the damn Yankees. Every year they write them off.... and every year they are wrong. Well this season was the first in 12 years that the Yankees were not above .500 at the All-Star break. So of course, every one claims they are done, and they should become "Sellers" before the trade deadline. Well, I am definitely not a damn Yankees fan, but you can't spend $200 million on a team and not make the playoffs! Despite "the world is ending" predictions by the so-called experts... its really not that bad. They are only 8.5 games out of the wildcard. They are behind Seattle, and teams have overcome much bigger defecits than 8.5 games. They only play Boston 6 more times the second half.... they play a million games against Tampa Bay... and even play Seattle 3 times in September. So despite being under .500 the Yankees will still make the Playoffs.... exit in the first round... followed by the firing of both Cashman and Torre. Remember you heard it here first.
