A Glimmer of Hope

Everything El Duque wrote x 100. 

Yes, the storm clouds are a-comin but right behind them are rainbows.  

As the Yankees enter their third consecutive month of suck by... sucking, we have reached the point where pretty much every article in every paper and other places where sports are covered are FINALLY focusing on...

a) How poorly the team is constructed - They blame Brian .

and 

b) How bad they are at baseball fundamentals - They blame the organization in general and coaching in specific.

and

c) How they are not held to account -  They blame BOONE! 

Change is a-comin'.

Look, when A-Rod and Jeter start saying the above as they did on national television during  another of baseballs phony events, the Speedway Classic... 

WTF is that BTW? At least the Field of Dreams game was about a baseball movie! Auto racing doesn't even have a ball. 

Why not "Tin Cup"? They could take over Augusta or better and even easier,  PGA West -- it already has a stadium green...

Anyway...  When Jeter and A-Rod say what needs to be said before a big national game - - 

There are other team sports... Why don't they do the "Slap Shot" game and flood the infield and freeze it? Hilarity ensues. 

Hey, marketing studies about the Savannah Bananas prove that fans like a little slapstick with their baseball. 

Maybe that's why the Yankees run the bases like they do. 

For once they're ahead of the curve...  

The bottom line is that the Yankees are becoming a joke.

Consequently, Hal's whole marketing strategy falls apart, and while winning doesn't matter, positioning does. 

Well not on the field where infielders play outfield while outfielders play infield. However, in the marketplace, that's what's REALLY important. 

The Yankees are not elite. This team is not the continuation of the greatest franchise in MLB history. They suck and sooner or later people catch on to being gaslit.

Nobody want to wear a baseball cap that basically says, "I've been duped."  Right? Right? 

The light of truth is finally starting to shine.  

And if the light shines after the storm... you get rainbows.
