It’s Not Time for Yankees to Panic

It’s only one game. Other teams over the last few years have comeback down a game or two. We’ve even seen a team come back down 0-3 (let’s not talk about that). Why can’t the Yankees come back?. Is it because we’re not used to the Yankees being down this postseason? Is that why pessimism is reigning over? We knew the Yankees weren’t going to sweep this great Phillies team. We expected six or seven games and we’re going to get six or seven games. The Yankees were down 0-2 in 1996 and won the next four straight. The Yankees can come back late in a game, why can’t they come back down one game in a series? Optimism.

It’s one game. Cliff Lee was phenomenal. Nothing can be taken away from the job he did but the Yankees’ offense can’t do any worse. They’ll rebound against Pedro in game two.

The Yankees aren’t panicking after one game. They understand baseball and how dominating a performance Lee had in game one. The media and the fans are the ones panicking. Pessimism.
