Aguy shouldn’t always start a column with a question, but this is key. Who likes the Yankees?
I’ll answer.
Front-runners, tourists, New Yorkers.
Bah, humbug to all of them.
Sadly, that’s the kind of mood a fellow finds himself in when he sees the Yankees, once again, atop the American League East, while the Cubs and White Sox muddle about in their respective divisions, both with losing records.
Going into Monday, the Yankees, irritatingly, had the best record in baseball at 49-17.
True, there’s always a Chicago-New York snarky thing. The second city and all that.
