Open letter to Yankiverse: You have two days to get your affairs in order


People,

Pay your bills. Shop for food. Do the laundry. Fill the dog's water bowl.

You have two days to do what they call "life."

Pop a quickie with the spouse. Cover the windows with plywood. Write your memoirs.

Come Friday, everything changes.

Come Friday, nights will be for games, and days will be for awaiting nights.

Come Friday, there is no recession, no swine flu, no sour scent to your home due to the 70 cats you raise as children.

Come Friday, the phone can ring, and you won't answer. It's nobody you care about. It's a telemarketer. Or your employer, calling you to work. It is nothing of concern.

Come Friday, take the TV remote, punch in the game, then crush it under your boot heel, so it can never be used again.

Come Friday, no visitors will come. Let them knock on your door. Tell them to go away. If it's the police, fight them. The authorities no longer have jurisdiction over you.

Come Friday, only the Yankees have jurisdiction over you.

Get your affairs in order.

Friday, we fight.

I'm so fucked - I'm going to be away living out of random apartments at this music festival during games 4, 5* and 6*. how do I reconcile attending tons of prepaid music while somehow watching the yankees?

then again said festival is in brooklyn/manhattan... skip it all and try to get into the bronx? :D




*if necessary

Rain forecast Friday and Saturday and Sunday... could hurt the 3-man rotation with a loss of a off-days.

Get those prayers going... Yankees moved the socks game last month because of the Jewish holidays; now the man upstairs need to move the rain so we can play some games this weekend in the Bronx.

I'm so nervous I might explode.

I have stockpiled booze and munchies.

Anything else I should worry about, duque?

I just pray to god that there is no power failure. With my radio, or the still_in_the_bronx_which_IS_new_york_new_york_(unlike_the_la/anaheim/orange_county/kalleefornee-ya_angels_of_anaheim_which_used_to_be_in_kalleefornee-ya)_yankees
