So?

They beat the Yankees tonight. It's reasonable to assume they'd win another game this season; the chances of going 0-132 over the next five months being unlikely.

The best teams still lose around sixty games a season. The Yankees, entering tonight's play at 17-9, are going to lose a bunch more times before it's over.

Now let's see them do it again tomorrow night. Start a winning streak at home. At this low point in the season, two in a row would be way cool. 

Write the newly arrived Scott Sizemore into the #2 hole and see what he does. Right now, with only Miguel Cabrera hitting, that's the best they can do.He won't always get three hits, like he did tonight fresh off the freeway from Toledo. If he gets on base and doesn't STRIKE OUT all the time ... hitting, like whiffing, is contagious. The rest of the lineup might catch on.

This May 3 was cold and wet (it rained all day), and, in the ninth inning on radio, it sounded like only a couple hundred or so fans had stayed until the end. Including one right on top of Yankee radio's field mike, who kept shreiking HEY BATTABATTABATTA! as the Yanks made their last three outs. Providing, for the New York City radio audience, a sample of the knowledgeable, sophisticated fan who comes to games at Comerica.
