I've said this before, so apologies upfront for repeating myself but, acknowledging Beinfest is probably right about our wildcard chances (whether we're 4.5 or 7 games back), the most important thing this team can do this season is learn how to win (and good teams find ways to win), and to that end any trade he makes should be made with learning that lesson in mind.
For young teams, as we know from watching the Fish 2000-2003, that was the hardest lesson of that crop of players to learn.
If somehow this team can walk off the field after their last game in September at or above .500 it's the physchological equivalent of winning the world series, not to mention guaranteeing Joe Girardi Manager of the Year.
Nonetheless, I'm still scoreboard watching.
You forgot 1998 and 1999. Those are very important years.
