Um, guys...

The Vega is not prone to panic about our beloved Yankees, but the 40-game mark is the point when I start to feel confident or nervous. They're heading into Chicago with a 17-19 record, so this is the week when things are going to be amplified for the fans and for the team. Abreu looks like he's lost confidence, Cano is pressing, and A-Rod's hot start has cooled. The starting pitching's improved, but the Yankees are either scoring five runs in an inning or look unable to solve some journeyman pitcher.

And if anything happens to this guy, all hope is gone.
