Being optimistic and having faith is what being a fan is all about. It's just about wanting the best for your team and having faith that they'll do the best, and if they don't, then you look at what they did that was good and you move on. For example, last night's game sucked, but you can say, "Hey, what a great play by Jorge blocking the plate. He's got real heart." That's what being optimistic is about, for me anyway. And to me, that's also realistic.

All I know is that it is beyond ridiculous for *any* Yankee fan to be talking smack after the complete beatdown they took today. True, the Yanks have played great ball since the ASB. And if you had asked me on July 1st if I would be happy to have a three game lead in the WC on Sept 16th I would have said "gladly." But there is a crapload of work to do just to win the wild card. And only but a few people around here even realize it. All I keep reading about on the blog is "We can still win the division!" and "Yes! Cleveland won again!" First off, enough with the Cleveland garbage. Let me pose this hypothetical: What if the red hot Tigers go into Cleveland and sweep the Indians, and then with their ridiculously easy schedule, PASS Cleveland in the standings? Guess who the Yankees would then be battling for the wild card spot? Yes. Cleveland. Impossible scenario? Look at both teams remaining schedules. If Detroit sweeps Cleveland, the Tigers have an outstanding chance to win the AL Central. Either way, I sense that this WC battle will come down to the final game or two of the season. Secondly, and it kills me to write this, but forget about the division. It's over. It's also irrelevant, because the Red Sox are in the playoffs no matter what, and the only real significance of winning the division would be to knock Boston out totally. The Yankees have 14 games left. Even if they play lights-out baseball and go, say 11-3 the rest of the way, Boston only would have to go 6-7 to wrap up the division. None of this is a question of being pessimistic or optimistic -- all that stuff is superstitious BS. It's REALITY. I’m not sure if Vito represents the average Yankee fan or not.

The Yanks are gonna smack them upside the head in the playoffs and in my mind, the playoffs start tomorrow. Clemens will set the tone by plunking the Lolipop Kid from Munchkinland, Pedroia and then shut them down for the next 6 innings, Joba for 6 dominant outs and then Mo to slam the door shut. That is how playoff baseball is done and has been done in the Bronx for the past 10 years. I agree, Vito – excellent POST.
