The Curse Is Dead, Long Live The Curse
From the point the Yankees took a 7-1 lead it wasn't worth it to watch last night.
Today I won't be able to look at the papers.
When the ticker tape parade comes I'll bury my head in work.
As regular readers are aware, I was "pulling" for Philly in this Bad Meets Evil World Series. In the end, Evil prevailed, and in so doing, they broke the 9-year Yankees 2000 Curse that this website chronicled and celebrated.
The Curse is dead, long live The Curse.
What does it mean for us here?
I don't want to make any snap decisions, but I imagine in time we'll find a new URL and relaunch there. No need to update your browsers just yet; my technical know-how being what it is, we could be at Yankees 2000 for a long time to come. But without The Curse to celebrate anymore, being here at Y2K doesn't feel quite right.
It really is a shame. My disdain for the Yankees is truly immense, and the suffering of their fans (if you can call 9 whole years "suffering"... I've been waiting my whole life, or the part of it I can remember anyway) was a source of delight.
But the truth is that, for me, this site has always been more about loving the Mets than hating the Yankees. Anyone who's followed my writing here knows that. All of which is to say that the site will continue in one form or another.
At least I can take some solace in the fact that the Yankees were, by any objective measure, the best team in baseball this year; it's not like they "Yankees Magicked" their way to a crown, they simply played the best ball from May onwards.
Sigh... that's not much solace at all.
It's been a fun ride. The Curse is no more. The site will continue. Thanks for your continued patronage.

take solace in the fact that LeBron will be in town friday to play the knicks... and will get to see a NYC Parade down the Canyon of Heroes.
I know this place USED to be into the knicks as well.
While I am sure it wont be a deciding factor, it certainly wont hurt in the recruiting efforts.
i have always enjoyed knowing this site was here, and sharing in the mets adoration (when deserving it; flagellation when not) and yankee-bashing.
just because the skanks actually, yknow, won the damn thing this year doesn't make them any less deserving of scorn. please keep this place going in whatever manner you see fit.
fuckin yanks can suck my dick. arod can lick my nipples. whiles texiera can rimjob me. then i can circumsize jeter and do some anal on marino rivera. me and david wright can give reachrounds to melky cabera and robison cano respectivly. we all know that mets fans are the best so the whole yankees fans can take it up the ass. especially joe girardi who can give good head. mets and red sox in 2010.
Gotta say, I'm glad this place is gonna be gone. I don't hate the Mets. I just love the Yankees!
So let this place be gone forever while I have a glass of fine bubbly while wearing my Yankees championship hat.
Mets fans, we did you a favor. At least appreciate it.
Yankees are World Series Champions. To quote Bill Simmons' friend JackO "All is right with the world, Billy. All is right with the world."
Good night, "Curse" of 2000. Ha Ha Ha!
Oh and I forgot: Screw the Red Sox! May they never win again for another 186 years! Baseball will be better for it.
