Little Skid? No Problem.

Okay, the Yanks have only scored 10 runs during their four game losing streak between Oakland and Los Angeles. Going seventeen straight innings without a run can be hard to swallow for die hard fans, but I tend to stay optimistic. I mean doesn't this always happen on the west coast trips? The Yanks always split in Seattle, and then lose two of three to the Athletics and Halos. Out of the five late night starts this week, I've only watched Friday's game. For Yankee fans on the east coast, it feels as if these games don't count. Our minds are ready for bed by first pitch at 10:15pm and we can care less what happens while we're all asleep. These games count for the record, but it's all about the division match ups. The wins and losses even out and the winning record will remain constant throughout the year. There's nothing to worry about; the history shows that we have nothing to fear. Besides, this is the only west coast trip of the season (Thank you Houston for the re-alignment). Relax, the Yanks are only a game and a half behind Baltimore for 2nd, and three games behind Boston for the division. We all need to remember where we thought this team would stand after Granderson, Jeter, and Teixiera went down. Hell, by June 1, I would've been excited if the Yanks were a few games over .500! Let's not worry about the Angels or the A's; the next time we'll see them it will be in the Bronx. The bats will come together and the pitching staff will get back in focus. Keep the faith and don't check out. It's only mid-June.
