Last night, after the "regular," COVID-shortened season officially ended I posted the following on my Facebook page....
Having slept on it, I wish to add GERRITT COLE (top photo) to the list of Yanks who distinguished themselves in the "regular" season, though he didn't LEAD THE MAJORS in any category like LeMahieu and Voit did.
What has NOT changed is my overall assessment of this team. Having slept on THAT, I have concluded they are a bunch of (as Yogi Berra might say) OVERWHELMING UNDERACHIEVERS so far.
They could have finished as SECOND seed, enabling them to play the first round of the playoffs AT HOME where their stats are SO much better. Instead, after winning 10 in a row they SLUMPED in their last several games and finished as FIFTH seed. Disgraceful.
Oh, yes...they could STILL get hot and win ELEVEN in a row in the postseason and become World Champs again...first time in 11 years...I know that.
But I'm sick of players who DON'T play hard, DON'T play hurt, DON'T come near their potential because players like that, simply stated, DON'T win Championships.
All of that said.....GO, YANKEES!!!!! Game One of the Wild Card series is tomorrow night, in Cleveland...
