• New York Yankees: Not a roster for the ages, but subs are earning their pinstripes

  The moral of the story: For generations, the Yanks never make excuses. As soon as you put on the uniform, you swell up to be part of the tradition of Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle and Jeter. But you also know everyone, except your own Bronx fans, hates your guts. That comes with the contract. There’s crushing New York pressure, savvy criticism and every cabbie could be a GM. So what? Show up, just win and stop whining. The target-on-our-back Nats and refs-are-out-to-get-us Caps could take a lesson.

  I think Tom Boswell is trying to jinx the Yankees, but his suggestion for the Nats and Caps is a good one.
  
  Also, good win by the Yankees last night — tying it up in the ninth and then scoring twice in the 10th to win it. The victim - the cowardly, subsidized Baltimore Orioles.
  
  The Nats on the other hand. Oof.
