The Bronx “Bombers”

After a rough start, the New York Yankees have made their way
to an unexpected winning streak, following their victory at Yankee
Stadium on July 17, 2007 against the Toronto Blue Jays. But how long can this streak last?

“They suck!” said Melissa Tiep, a student at Lehman College.“They only won by luck.” Most still have faith. “They are getting hot,” says Luis Espada, a true Yankee fan. He thinks that the Yankees are going to make it all the way even though they’ve had a bumpy first half of this season. Just when it looks like they’re going to break out of a slump like they did on June 14th, 2007 by wining 9 straight games, they start losing. Even though Alex Rodriguez, the current home run and RBI leader in Major League Baseball, is having a phenomenal season, what happened to the rest of the team?

They lack “team chemistry” said Fabio Sanchez, a student at Lehman
College. This is crucial for the Yankees, since A-Rod has almost double
the number of home runs and RBI’s as the rest of his team members.

These facts show that the Bronx Bombers aren’t what they used to be,
or are or who knows? “The team is playing well now but it’s up to
them to decide their future,” said Lehman student, Jaelen Wilder.
