This is my final comment before the game tonight.
I refrained from saying anything about this series because most of it was obnoxious anti Red Sox stuff that the Sox so very much deserve. But in true baseball fashion of superstition I decided to not put pen to paper and wait until the Yanks won the ALCS. But as I see this ship slowly sink lower in the water I am wondering if that time will ever come. Because I can?t write about an event that has yet to take place I am not going to rip on the Sox. I am going to rip on the Yanks. Or at least one player.
I love the Yanks. I really do. Great players. Great management. Owner who doesn?t have alligator arms. Great history. But some things must be said.
First, have you ever read The Girl Who Loves Tom Gordon by Steven King? If the Yanks lose this thing then get ready to read the Angry Fan Who Hates Tom Gordon. Watching him walk out to the mound is like watching a prison riot ? no good can come from it. Hell, I would rather see Torre pitching them Gordon these days. He sucks. He gets out there to give Mo some rest and the only thing that happens is Mo has to come in a closer game with runners on base. Look, I know he pitched a lot this year and is tired, but give me a break. The Red Sox are hitting like..well?the Red Sox, and Gordon STILL can?t get them out. Ugh.
The Sunday morning after the Yankee shellacking of the Sox my friends and neighbors all walked around like they just saw their grandmothers naked. Mumbling under their breath they kept saying ?Did that really happen?? The Yanks should have put the nail in the coffin. But nope. Here we are on Wednesday hoping the Yanks can find some way to win.
Momentum is on the Sox side and if the Yanks lose tonight, there?s gonna be a lot of ah-splaining to do. Please, for the love of those ofus living in Boston but Yankee fans, let the Yanks win tonight.
