Our City
The Yankees are down. They are watching their precious AL East disappear from them and their aura of perfection disintegrate.
What do we when a man is down?
In this case, we kick him like we were Ole Dogg from Menace II Society until he can't breathe.
The Yankees' season to this point has been abysmal. The Yankees have three jobs.
1. Win their division
2. Beat the Red Sox
3. Win the backpages of New York City
So far the Yankees are off to a fantastic 0-2.5 start.
They watched the Red Sox show them who is boss in the AL East in a couple of early season head-to-head series'. They have fallen behind 9.5 games to the best and most complete team in baseball (sorry guys, that's the Red Sox, not the Mets).
And they haven't exactly been doing much on the backpages of our favorite local periodicals.
This weekend can bring the Yankees to a very scary 0-3.
If the Yankees lose this series a lot of great things will happen.
Their fans will probably give up on them. Memorial Day means summer in the Hamptons and the Jersey Shore and no longer Yankee baseball.
Their owner will call for something drastic.
Joe Torre or Brian Cashman would be fired.
The Red Sox would most likely have a double digit lead in the division.
The Mets will be considered the best team in New York City.
A-Rod will be three games closer to opting out of his deal.
BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
IF the Yankees come into Shea and hand it to the New Mets, then their confidence could swing.
They would have the whole "we beat the Mets, this is still our city" thing going. They would have the confidence of a big series win. They would remain in hopeful distance of the Red Sox.
I know it is early in the season and we still have well over 100 games to go, but this is one of the more important Subway Series that I can remember.
The Mets have the opportunity to BURY the Yankees.
All I can say, let's get out the shovels.
These will be big tests for Oliver Perez and John Maine. They both rose to the occasion last October. Let's see how they do with all of New York glancing over them.
Vaya con dios,
Sip

Can't you do something about the pictures you use? Man, you should be embarrased to put such amateur looking pixelated crap on your blog.
Cousin and Mrs. Cousin will be yelling in Mezz Box 12. Or huddling from the rain. One or the other.
In any case, I echo you--BURY 'em.
Ha, I'll be thinking about you in Arizona while I'm freezing up in UR Section 4 Row P. Although I wouldn't even consider trading with you.
Hopefully I'm showing up to Shea on Sunday not with a broom, but with a shovel.
All right, Sip, nice to see a little of the ol' bashing again. Looks like you might be getting your mojo back. I realize it'll take longer in a place like Arizona.
appreciate the kind words, Scott. Hope your TV breaks tonight.

Ah, don't be such a grouch sip. It appears my challange has driven you to find decent pictures for your post. I think you should be thanking me for pushing you to achieve greatness ;)
I'm only busting your balls by the way, nice job on the blog bro.
Let the shoveling begin!
Go Yankees!!!
