Well, the bad guys won. Honestly, that hurts more than the fact that our Phils lost. Apparently 9 years without a title was too long for those elitist and fair-weather Yanks supporters. Steinbreiner finally bought his title. His team, outside of Jeter, has all the feel and emotion of a hit man. It’s a team only a band-wagoner could love. Luckily, NYC is a perfect fit.
I feel sorry for those of you that work in Jersey or NYC and have to deal with the new Yankees people. I don’t call them fans because they don’t understand what that even means. You know, the ones that think Joba Chamberlain was a character from Star Wars; the ones that have watched 6 games all year; the ones that sell out the Garden when the Rangers or Knicks win, but can’t get more than 5000 in it during the tough times. Frankly, that’s the point: the NYC fans are not supporting the Yankees, they are supporting winning. A convenient, albeit meaningless, sports fan existence.
So the bad guys won, but I’m grateful I’m not one of them. I will take our home-grown team, one with real grit and character, and pray that those soft, obnoxiously paid pin-stripers fall on their faces. Of course, if they do, the band-wagoners will be onto something else. Like I said, a convenient, albeit meaningless, sports fan existence
