For Yankee-haters the world over, it has cetainly been the Best of Times of late. The Midwest Massacre is in full-swing, with losses to perennial doormats like the Royals and Brewers and the frequent Yankee whipping boys known as the Twins. My heart is content.

Lap it up now, though, because I suspect that the Yankee bats will finally start making timely hits, and by July, we'll see in pinstripes two new starting pitchers, a new set-up guy and a reliable outfielder. Expect an early-August surge, a swoon by the Orioles and Red Sox, and a fight to the finish in September.
