I am not making this up. The Yankees are the ultimate metaphor. Carnegie Council Transcripts and ArticlesOctober 23, 2012 Tuesday 2:46 PM EST The speaker is David Lesch, an expert on Syria:LESCH: One of the questions I m often asked these days is: Can the opposition and the government ever get together on any particular issue right now? My answer here today is that my wife Judy, in front of me, was raised in northern New Jersey as a New York Yankees fan [laughter]. I, however, was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, and am a Baltimore Orioles fan. We are still together and happy [laughter]. I m glad the Yankees won the series because it s always best that the wife be happy in these instances. So, there is hope. There s only slightly less animus there than what s going on in Syria.

Something just didn't feel right about the 2012 New York Yankees. While they still won the AL East, the divisional race was a dogfight that went down to the final days of the season, with New York prevailing over the Baltimore Orioles, as opposed to their usual rivals in Boston or Tampa Bay.
