...have you ever noticed that when the Yanx lose a game the answer is that "it's still early" or that "it's still April" and that we should not judge this team so early.
...but when they win, the same logic strangely does not apply, and the win is somehow seen as a reliable barometer and a precursor for the rest of the season ?
I guess some feel there are different degrees and periods of "early" or when a team is trending downward too quickly, or when it's time for a team to begin to show signs of life.
Yes, of course it's still early for just about ALL the teams but there are also many teams who can benefit more by having a good first couple of months of the season as they may not be one of those who are generally regarded and expected to be kinda like an
obvious solid contender.
We're into the last week of the first month....I think it's time, and a good idea (lol) to be playing well and I do believe the Yanks SO FAR have made good strides and made a statement as they have played very well in the last 10 games including going 5-2 in back-to-back series vs two clubs who were playing well with the best records.
I think most people (myself included) would feel it would be dangerous territory, even in
late April if
this Yankee team was floundering a few games below .500 and 7 or 8 games out of first place.
Do you know when it's sounds kinda silly or too "early"? Imo -
When some are calling for particular teams to finish at .500 or slightly better in JANUARY, FEBRUARY , MARCH and APRIL......
Now THAT'S what I call -
"too early". Lol
