This message is to all Yankee fans. Please read on. For you Red Sox fans out there, go celebrate your World Series. <i>You bastards</i>. You deserve it. Actually, you do not deserve it. You deserve it as much as any NBA rookie deserves a 300K dollar car, but go celebrate anyway. It?s been a long time coming. <i>I hate you so much</i>.
As for my fellow Yankee fans, I have a few things to say.
1) This moment is like giving back the colonies to England. Things WILL be different for us. And things will be VERY different for those of us who live and work in Boston and have been mouthing off the last 10 years. I feel like the kid who teases the dog on a chain and the chain just broke. The dog is standing right in front of me smiling and thinking about the best way to kill me. Sweet madre de Dios, the Sox have won he World Series.
2) This was going to happen sooner or later. Wished it was later. As I?ve said before, as long as there is no salary cap, get used to the Yanks and Sox in the ALCS. It?s not going away.
3) I would have been torn apart if this were 98, 99 or 2000. Those were a great group of guys who deserved to win. But the Yanks of this year are easy to dislike. For all of those misleading wins this year, the big guys could not get it done when it counted. 4 times when it counted. All they needed was ONE (expletive deleted) WIN IN 4 GAMES. You want to know what, Yankee fans, they deserved to lose. Gary, a-hole. Brown, a-hole. Lofton, a-hole. ARod?? Wh..!?!? Ho??!?!. Do not get me started on that piece of work. Sure, he was a good player this year, but we needed one. Freakin. Run. In. Extra. Innings. And that bitch slap thing with Bronson Arroyo was a joke. Lower your shoulder and knock that 150 pounds pitcher to the ground. That way when they call you out, Jeter is on third. And Gordon! Good job with your part of game 5. Let me get this straight. You enter. And leave 3 train wreck batters later with a run scored, guys on first and third and no outs. Good job. But Tom, we don?t blame you. We blame the Yankee starters for not completing one game this year and making Torre over use you. You were tired in the playoffs. Poor baby. Now take your millions and rest that arm. You?ll need it pitching on ANOTHER TEAM NEXT YEAR.
So like I was saying. I do not feel bad for this group of guys going down in history as being a bunch of jerks who blew it. The folded like France in 1940.
4) I might not like the players on the Red Sox. Or the way management runs the organization. Or the owners. Or most of the Sox fans and their drunken rantings. Or the stupid gimmicks they come up with to make themselves likeable to Red Sox Nation. And the yahoos who cover them on local TV and paper. Or their stupid hair cuts (or should I say lack of). But this team?s only chance at history was to win the World Series. Most of the Yankees are super stars that have already made their place in history. They will be hall of famers, or have won before, or are just great players. But the Sox are mostly a bunch of misfits that if they do not win the World Series, they will never be remembered. So the Sox have motivation to win. The Yanks have guaranteed millions that they will get no matter what. Its different objectives for winning. Different approaches. Different outcomes. And I really think Schilling is a jerk but pitching with a scalpel sticking out of his ankle and blood pooling next to the rubber was about as gutsy as anything I have ever seen. No way Brown or any of the Yankee pitchers would have done that this year. It all goes back to this year?s team.
5) I am not going to shout ?19 more and we?re tied? or any of that nonsense. The Sox won, the Yanks lost, and that is that. They had more heart, more desire, more clutch plays, and things went their way. Tony Clark?s double, Mo blowing it with 3 outs left, Bellhorn hitting a homer, etc. These things happen in the playoffs and they happened to the Sox this year. Good for them.
6) Even though this feels bad, the pressure is now on the Sox. They are the bad guys. They are the ones who buy pitchers and expensive outfielders to win championships. They are part of the ?haves?, not part of the ?have-nots?. The good feeling that others have for the Sox will last only so long. The Yanks are now viewed as the underdog and the losers. People like to root for losers. Not sure if people will really feel bad for the Yanks, but things will change for the Sox. Bet on it.
7) I am not sure what I am going to do with this site. It was fun when I had the upper hand, but not so much fun now. I will probably keep it the same and get rid of the ?show them how it feels to win? nonsense. I am a proud person and do not want to become like all Red Sox fans and chant ?Red Sox Suck? when I know it?s not true. Sox fans have about a 5th grade education level (and I am not talking about 5th graders) and they say things like ?Yankees Suck? and really believe it. But saying that the Red Sox suck when they just won the World Series is like eating hot dogs for breakfast ? I can do it but it just doesn?t feel right.
So that is it Yankee fans. Our lives are different. Let?s hope the Sox fans do not get carried away and hurt more people with rioting, and let?s hope the Sox do not make the playoffs next year. Fortunately the first will probably be true and unfortunately the second will probably not.
Like it or not, this begins a new chapter in the Yankee-Red Sox battle
