Sales of Mets Hats Picking Up in New York

Yankees fans are not a patient group by nature, but it appears that this season they are beginning to embrace that virtue. After getting off to a slow start, Yankees fans assured themselves to "Just wait" and things would get better. I don't know if it's optimism, stubborness, or arrogance, but Yankees fans know they'll be dominant. It's their rightful place in baseball. Well, they're still waiting. Here is a progression of the Yankee party line over the course of the season:

"Just wait 'til Matsui gets back."

"Just wait 'til we meet the Sox."

"Just wait 'til Wang is healthy."

"Just wait 'til we get that rematch with the Sox."

"Just wait 'til we call up Hughes."

"Just wait 'til Donnie Baseball is in charge."

..."Just wait 'til next season."

Don't worry Yankees fans- you'll get there. C.C. Sabathia is a free agent after 2008- I'm sure he'll help the pitching staff. In the meantime, take comfort in knowing that ARod will continue to have a good season since there won't be any pressure of a playoff run this year.
