The first thing I ever wrote for Pinstripe Alley was right as the 2015 Yankees made it to the American League Wild Card game and were set to face Dallas Keuchel and the Houston Astros. The Yankees hadn’t made the playoffs for two years and were finally back where they belonged after a postseason “drought.” In that piece, I argued whether “World Series or bust” expectations were fair and how “enjoying the ride” is rewarding on its own.
Since then, I’ve written many posts complaining about the Yankees and their lack of action.
