A friend writes...
I have been working hard all week and missed an opportunity to participate in a
series of email rants written by high school friends, college friends, and work
friends. I decided to take a little break last night and I wrote a few rants
of my own concerning $189MM caps, McCann, Ellsbury, et al. At the end, I signed
off with "I need a beer."
I stood up, went to the fridge, and discovered
I had none, so I went out to buy a 6-pack.
My liquor store is a little
neighborhood affair.
It's run by a little Portuguese guy who's a big time
New England Sports fan. Among other things, he was chosen as "Patriots Fan of
the Year" by the NE Patriots and participated in an on-field ceremony in which
he was given a plaque, etc. from Bob Kraft himself. This guy is a serious
fan.
He says: "Do you know why Ellsbury went to the Yankees?"
He
knows I'm a Yankee fan, and I see his sh*t-eating grin forming, so I half-know
what's coming.
Because I'm a good sport, I say "Why?"
He says:
"Because he was sick of playing baseball in October."
I left thinking I
should have gotten 2 six packs...
That's the state of a Yankee fan's life
right now.
