You know, I seem to remember another team of recent vintage, one with “New York” stenciled on the front of its jerseys, that picked the absolute perfect time to blossom into the version of itself we always wanted it to be. Correct me if I’m wrong, but once that team found itself, it started not only beating teams, but throttling them.
By 30. By 40. One night, by 51.
That team, not incidentally, wound up winning 13 playoff games in a row.
Hey, if you’re not going to dream big baseball dreams on the morning the calendar officially clicks to October, when exactly are you going to dream them? The Yankees blasted the Red Sox for a second straight night at Yankee Stadium, 9-2, to wrap up a stress-free American League wild-card series in a 2-0 sweep.
