I can’t really put my finger on why I haven’t posted this week, the most exciting week of baseball for the Yankees all season…not to mention that the Mets are coming to the Bronx this weekend. Everything is rosy in the Bronx. I mean everything! Abreu, Melky, A-Rod, Mussina, Mo…

On no.

Did I just jinx them?

I guess you could call it the mentality of the overly superstitious. Perhaps it is a bit too self-important of me…but the bottom line is, in all honesty, that while the Yankees have won nine in a row and climbed within 7.5 of Boston all I’m thinking is ‘I told you so.’ But is it too soon to start cashing in on everyone’s Yankee-bashing from May? Am I going to make the same mistake they made in judging a season from the first two to three months? Will I jinx the Yankees? These are the kind of questions that prevent one from posting…

At the end of the day I don’t really blame anyone for riding emotions of April and May — emotion is what sport is all about. Yet at the same time I kind of do point a finger because New York and Boston fans are supposed to be WAY smarter than your average baseball fan. That means that Mets and Red Sox fans who were already celebrating the fall of the Yankees, and Yankees fans who believed them, should know that the season isn’t close to done in May or June.

With that said, the Yankees are still only two games over .500 and they are STILL 7.5 games back. That’s some pretty decent real estate when you consider the Yanks can’t win every game and the Red Sox will pick up the pace.

Nothing’s won, nothing’s lost at this point in the year (I tell myself).

Or am I just trying to cover up for being a jinx?
