Holy Crap! The Giants play a meaningful game Sunday!

We interrupt the continuing deluge on the Yankee Fiasco News Network to bring you this bulletin:

The Yankee yang known as the New York Football Giants have won four straight games and - on the 50th anniversary of Dallas' signature link to human history - have a chance to stick it to the the Hunt brothers, the Koch brothers, the Bush brothers, the "Hell Yeah!" wing of Rick Perry's tailgate party and 130-pound Skeletor impersonator known as Jerry Jones... and do it a few weeks before Texas signs Robbie Cano.

Four in a row? The Gints? OK, we know what that means...

But frankly, I'll take anything that gets me out of another painful day of Yankees news. When the 2013 season ended, I wrongly assumed the worst had happened. For starters, I didn't see the Redsocks rolling to the World Championship. And when that finally played out, once again, I figured we had bottomed out.

Turns out, it was another trap floor. The A-Rod debacle will cruise into January, and no matter what happens, it'll be bad for us. By then, Robbie Cano may be pricing grassy knolls outside Dallas, and we'll be looking at a lineup of rehabbing oldsters, declining free agents and scrap heap mementos - and then next June, we'll draft behind Boston.

Yep, the Giants play Sunday. Lucy will tee it up. Dare we hope?
