That is what the New York Times headline read this morning: "The Sputtering Yankees Look for a Jump Start". Amazing.
With the Bosox now only 5.5 back of the Dark Forces, after being down 10.5 not that long ago, the gods are setting me up again, taking me once again from despair then hope then the inevitable crush. The White Sox catcher below is not shamed by their play - he knows the other man has forgetten.

No, it's OK. It's safe to hope. Go on. You know you want to. Believe. Believe with all your heart. They can do it. This is it. This is the year. Go on ... God won't let it happen again ... He couldn't. That would be just ... cruel.
So go ahead. Believe ...

Just 4.5 back as of tonight. My five year old daughter picked out a pink Yankees hat to buy for the fair. I put it back down in favour of a New York State Parks hat. I am sure that did it. I do believe.
