And the Yankees LOST AGAIN! 11-0 to the Twins.

My friend, you do realize that in these games lots of guys who will never make the team for the real season are playing, and that pitchers are working only an inning or two, right?

So, don't get your hopes up about the Jays doing a lot of winning or the Yankees doing a lot of losing. In time, the AL East ship will right itself as it sets sail for the season, and then we'll see whether the Jays are in 3rd or 4th or even 5th place (I see the Orioles having an unexpectedly good season).

I have no delusions of where the Jays will end up. I am just enjoying the success that they are having right now, as it will be fleeting for quite a while. I just think the Yankees are going to have a tough time with offense this year(I honestly believe that with them winning the WS last year their "drive" may be a little lower this season), and they have a lot of "old farts" on their roster as well. I mean, Nick Johnson? Really?

Or even first place.
