Yankees Struggles to Start

In the opening weekend for baseball it was a terrible time for Yankee fans having their team start the season 0-3. It was started with a blown save by the best closer of all time Mariano Rivera and capped off with the Yankees unable to score one run on sunday afternoon. The start is definitely concerning and should not be taken lightly, but the influence of social media and sports news has some fans believing the season is already lost. One of the negative effects of social media is their ability to make stories much bigger than they need to be. Yes the Yankees have gotten off to a bad start but their are another 159 games and for people to already be saying that the Yankees have no chance at the playoffs is absolutely ridiculous. That is the one demerit that I have against sports coverage because the media has the ability to start freaking people out for no reason.
