How The Yankees Can Scare Their Fans?

The Yanks are being described as unstoppable right now.

 

Unstoppable is defined in the dictionary as incapable of being stopped or surpassed; unbeatable—That is the most unsettling term for a fan when the season has not finished or won the championship.

 

I learned this from the fortunate perspective of being a huge New York Giants fan in 2007. The team in the playoffs with only one pro-bowl worthy player beat Tampa, Dallas, Green Bay and then the unstoppable New England Patriots. 

 

The ordinary G-Men suddenly were the unstoppable team in the end. Glad I was not a Pats fan that February 3rd afternoon or a bookie in Vegas who must have gotten killed with each game the Giants won.

 

I must admit the disgust of a 12 point spread for the Superbowl Game because that was heartless in itself.

 

The Yanks have won the most games in baseball thus far with 74 in total. The Red Sox look finished for the division race and Tampa is not the same team as last year.

 

That should mean nothing to any Yankee player, fan, whatever, because if Tampa and Boston slide into the Wild Card I will be scared.

 

Post-season baseball or any other sport it is like starting over again. No team has to catch another or is ahead/behind in games. It is like being reborn again after getting wasn’t hard enough.

 

The Yanks need to keep their heads in their helmets (pun with all the heads being hit lately) because the minute the team starts to believe what others are saying it will be detrimental.

 

Imagine the NY Post Headline possibilities, “Our Yanks Got Spanked” or “Mets Can Breath Again As Yankees Fall Even Worse”. Even worse would be the pictures of stunned fans crying and unable to leave the seat in utter disbelief of what they just supposedly witnessed.

 

Then the anger of who kept saying unstoppable over and over again. The collapsing of the unstoppable Yanks, no one said that could happen.
