1. On first place: This is a very streaky team with very streaky hitters. They can look extremely capable or unbelieveably inept from series to series. A bad series could easily send this team into a tailspin. So, I am tempering my enthusiasm until I see them beat the Red Sox.
  2. The commentators have been gushing about Cano’s defense this year…..blah blah blah….how many of his poor throws would have resulted in errors if it wasn’t for Teixeira?
  3. I worry that Girardi is overusing Rivera.
  4. They still need another starter. With Burnett’s history…if he goes down…they’re in big trouble.
