Two Months Later

So we are past the 2 month point here over at Yankees2000. I'd like to thank all of you guys, the readers for your support and feedback, both positive and negative. I just love the Mets and despise the Yankees so greatly, and if you're anything like me in this regard, well, I'm glad that this site has brought us all together. I'm also happy for the chance to help all of you still in the struggle fill 5 minutes of your otherwise boring day at work.

To all those that doubted Young Sip and AFOMG, go fuck yourself and if I see you and you are still running your mouth, I'm gonna kick you in the neck. San Francisco has helped me mellow out, as you can see.

But back to the positives. Two months have past. Young Sip has made his way to the other coast. The Mets have brought in Carlos Delgado and Billy Wagner. The Giants somehow keep on winning (god bless Tiki Barber). I have sucesfully embedded myself into an NBA entourage. I'm up a ton of units with "the friendly bookie". My collection of awesome sweatpants/warm up pants is up to 7. 24 ads are back on FOX and GIRL tells me today that she loves to bet on college basketball.

Things are really looking up for Young Sip and I feel like good karma is in the air. Which means just one thing.

THE YANKEES WILL WIN THE WORLD SERIES

Other than my good pal and future best original screenplay winner, Kenny from Camp, I just feel like bad things always happen to my teams.

As much as Happy Will is the ultimate optimist, I consider myself maybe the world's biggest sports pessimist. I don't know why this is. There could be some deep-rooted psychological mumbo jumbo driving this all, but anyway you look at it, it is there.

When the Giants stepped on the field on Saturday, I didn't give them a chance. When the Mets open up the 2006 season, shitty slogan and all, I only expect the worst and it really bothers me. But I think things are starting to change, because for the first time this pessimism really is troubling me.

In my attempts to channel all the negative energies out of my system, which is turning Sip into one happy cat, all of a sudden I feel a new sense of confidence in my teams.

All of a sudden I envision a Super Bowl for the Giants.

All of a sudden I feel certain that Jack Bauer will make it through the next season of 24 alive.

And all of a sudden I'm feeling good things about the Mets. The main reason: David Wright.

We have never in our lives had a kid like this in any sport. A kid who came in with all the hype in the world only to exceed expectations. A player so likable and unphony (read: Alex Rodriguez) that he can do no wrong.

There isn't a player in baseball I would rather have on my team right now than David Wright, and I truly mean that. This is the guy that is going to lead us. This is the first player I have ever seen that I can't say a negative thing about.

Now this is a first for Sip. I still see Pedro's arm falling off in 2008 and always used to joke about the monster salsa dancing with Sam Champion down in Chelsea, but with this kid, there's nothing but pure adoration.

The Mets will win a World Series sometime soon. Maybe not this year but soon. And it will be because of David Wright.

Because good karma is with that guy. He does everything right, he's an agonizingly good person, and yet he is still so likable. I never thought a 3b could replace Rockin' Robin, but here it is.

I've never felt so optimistic in my life and man does it feel great.

Thats all i really got. If you haven't already read it, check out this interview with D Wright.

It'll surely put you in a good mood.

Gray skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face.

Lets go,
