Something to Smile About
Calm yourselves you angry fans of the Orange & Blue.
Next year is now and we have already gotten our two Carloses for the price of one.
We can sit here and whine about the Mets and their recent clunker with the Nats, how the Mets are chokes etc, etc, etc.
Or we can talk about something that makes us happy. Something that is truly historical and comedic and just all together why I was here in the first place.
Lets talk about the 4th place Yankees.
Tragic Number: 2
I wish I was 18 again. I'd be getting arrested for public drunkenness celebrating the misery of my enemy. Instead, here I am today, a tired 26 year-old who can just sit back and smile.
This team has caused me so much suffering over the years I can't even put it into words. I watched Bernie Williams ruin my World Series hopes in 2000 from Section 3, Row T of the Upper Deck. I don't think I spoke for days after that.
4 rings, millions of new, annoying, obnoxious fans and worst of all, the corruption of the city that I call home.
I blame Sex and The City and the Yankees for turning New York into what it has become. She's still my baby, but I very much subscribe to the old Team Facelift adage, New York is Dead.
So while there is no champagne on ice, there is a bit of satisfaction. Seeing fans who don't deserve to win unable to understand the concept of losing.
For Yankee fans, the playoffs were a given.
That's not baseball and that's not right.
While I don't enjoy their misery like I once would have, I appreciate the city being grounded.
Winning brings along new fans, losing makes the real ones stronger.
For thirteen years this city has been flooded with new Corporankee fans, talking A-Rod and Clemens.
Hopefully in the coming days, there will be a little bit of peace and quiet.
Vaya,
Sip

From today's NY Post:
September 20, 2008 --
ALEX Rodriguez wasted no time embracing single life. With the ink not yet dry on his divorce, the All-Star was spotted Thursday getting his blond highlights touched up at the Frederick Fekkai Salon. Wearing faded jeans and skin-tight blue T-shirt, A-Rod embraced his feminine side when stylists wrapped his head in a plastic helmet and put him under a heat lamp, reports The Post's Lukas I. Alpert. Later, A-Rod asked his yes-men if "it should be darker," to which they responded with stunned silence.
Winning brings along new fans, losing makes the real ones stronger.
