Being in the NYC area...I've had to deal with the pissing and moaning of Yankee fans for a week now. This is what I gather from these fine folks regarding their current feelings...here's why this is the worst season ever...
They didn't win the World Series.
They didn't even make the World Series.
They were up 3-0, and lost.
They were up 3-0, and lost to the Red Sox.
They were up 3-0, and lost to the Red Sox...at Yankee Stadium...you know, the house that Ruth built.
George publically ridiculed the Red Sox owner for not getting ARod.
Yankees fans relished this fact, and even laughed as the Sox had to settle for Schilling;
ARod was a big, overpaid, puss, while Schilling showed the kind of guts and determination that is rarely found in this game anymore.
No longer can "1918" be chanted at the Stadium.
The "Curse of the Bambino" is dead...dead and gone forever.
No longer can any Yankee fan say that the Sox are their bitches.
For eternity...the Yankees will be remembered as the only team...EVER...who lost a 3-0 lead...and it was against the most hated Red Sox...and it was completed at Yankee Stadium.
For Yankee-haters everywhere, and for baseball as a whole, this is truly a great day.
CONGRATULATION RED SOX!!!
