An honest evaluation

The time is now: New York, Boston, Minnesota, New York, Minnesota.
The next 15 games should give an accurate accounting of who this team is and where they're going, if anywhere. 9 are road games. To go 10 and 5 would be wonderful, 8 and 7 would have them holding their own. Less than that, the bubble is punctured, unless they can learn from their mistakes and take that knowledge into the postseason. I hope Ozzie has prepared them well, that's what a good coach is for, right?
POSTGAME HATTIP: to the Classy Yanks fans. "Hernandez (8-5) got a nice ovation before the game from Yankees fans who remember all he accomplished during two stints in pinstripes from 1998-04."
