Silver Lining to Every Cloud.

There's a silver lining to every cloud.

And thats the truth.

But how can one find a silver lining to a 5 game losing streak? Two to the D-Rays and a full sweep of 3 by the Royals? EASY.

The silver lining is in history. Plain and simple.

If one looks back to last year one sees two amazing things:
1. The division winning New York Yankees were 8-11 against the D-Rays.
2. The division winning New York Yankees were swept by the Kansas City Royals.

Yankees fans insist history repeats itself with the whole 26 world series champs thing, the cursed thing, and the yadda yadda 8 consecutive division championships...

So how about this? For the second year in a row the team who struggled against the D-rays and was swept by the Royals wins the American League East? Who knows... but I like the sound of it...

Just call it the Royal effect. Oh and if its ever mentioned anywhere else after this... you can just remember... hmmm I heard that from Lowie first. :-)

As always, GO SOX!
