I Miss My Friends
I have a few buddies who, (gasp), hate the Yankees.
When the Yankees lose, they make sure that I’m aware of it.
I heard from each and every one of them when the Yanks took a 14-1 thumping early in the year. By mid-morning after that one I finally texted back:
“I don’t own the team!”
Well, I haven’t heard from any of those guys in awhile.
17 out of 18 wins will do that for you.
Of course, I have reminded them of each win and the climb to first. When Gardner ripped a triple off the Suck Sux closer on Wednesday night, I tried to reach a couple of my buddies...
...they must not have been near their phones.
And that Stadium was rocking.
I thought back, of course, to the days when the Yankees expected to win every game. I recalled telling a clerk at the convenient store:
“The Yankees are going to the World Series.”
She had answered:
“That only happens once a year.”
And what really makes me smile is that this team is not built with money.
The Yankees payroll is shrinking.
(It’s $75 million less than Boston)
“Evil Empire, my ass,” I texted after the Judge moon shot to center.
No one answered.
If you see my buddies please do me a favor.
Remind them that the 27-Time World Chanpion Greatest Franchise in the History of Organized American Sports are really good.
