Bugged Out

It is pointless being a Yankee fan.

When we pitch, we don't hit. When we hit, we don't field or pitch. When we run, we are thrown out. When we hit and pitch, it is always against lousy teams. In the playoffs, we don't pitch and hit at the same time, ever.

We used to. We did in the last century. We don't anymore.

So, big deal, we came back after the all star break and backed into the playoffs, on the back of the Tigers' collapse.

The Tigers could probably beat Cleveland.

Now, we would lose to Tampa Bay if we were playing them.

Luckily, it is not just A-rod this time. Hideki the great "Godzilla" becomes a mini monkey. We pay Giambi $20 million per to watch. We pay Clemens $28 million ( ok, only $18 million pro-rated) , to go 8-8 and sit out September due to old age.

So now, on Sunday night, all the suits will show up at the stadium and enthusiastically cheer on the team. Dreaming visions of great Yankee comebacks in the past.

Only problem is , that Cleveland will score 3 in the first inning and that will be enough..

We'll be out of our first at bat, after 6 pitches. Against former Yankee Jake Westbrook.

If I watched the game, I would throw up on my shoes. I like about 5 guys on this Yankee team. I used to like them all.

Time to turn off this blog until we get to the next Yankee world series. We are a jynx now, because we are reporting the truth.

The party is over. Go home. Re- aquaint with your kids and wife and pets. Do it Sunday night at 6:00pm. If you have to watch TV, only watch 60 minutes.

The Mets are better off.
