Why, Even If The Yankees Keep Winning, We Will Be OK

This AM’s El Duque post about the possibility of the Yankees winning adversely affecting the well being of the world got me to thinkin’ and, despite his misgivings about this time around, I think we will be OK. 

Let's look at it logically:  

Does the fate of the New York Yankees actually effect the well being of America? 

Yes. Yes it does.

1) New York City is the Number One City in America.

2) Many, many, residents of NYC are Yankee fans.

3) When the Yankees win they are happy.

4) Happy people are more productive.

Therefore:  When the Yankees win - the Number One City in America is more productive.

Secondary Conclusion:  The Red Sox suck!

As to their current record juxtaposed with current events  I say that despite appearances, the world is actually on the upswing.

1)  Sure, I'm paying very close to $7.00 for a gallon of gas. It's insane.

But... people seem to be driving less so when I do drive there is very little traffic. More importantly, the air in the Sacramento Valley, which by June starts to take on a lovely shade of brown, is actually pretty clear.  

2) Sure, groceries are expensive. 

But... I've lost seven pounds because I'm not putting as much crap in the cart. Haven't bought a $4.29 bag of chips in months.

3) Sure there’s yet ANOTHER Covid variant sweeping the country.

But, I’ve had it, El Duque has had it, Alphonso has had it, and I’m sure others of you have as well and yet here we all are typing away. The next mask I’m wearing is going to be my Joey Gallo rubber head at a Halloween Party (Even though wearing it pretty much guarantees I will strike out with the opposite sex.)  By the way, the Joey Gallo Covid mask shown here is an actual thing. Google it. 

4) Yes, democracy is under assault. 

But I'm liking that even the NY Post and Wall Street Journal are waking up to reality. Or more accurately realizing that what they've been pushing won't fly. (Not to worry - they will find something else to be toxic about soon.)

4)  Sure, “The Radical Right” seems more organized and frightening than ever. 

But, the other day, I think it was fifty-one would-be Brownshirts got busted BEFORE they caused the riot.

5) Yes, The Woke PC police seems to be dictating the focus of the Democratic Party

But San Francisco, a place where some people leave their heart and I left $2,785 in unpaid parking tickets, just booted two members of their idiot school board who wanted to change the names of schools to meet their woke criteria, (Including one with Abraham Lincoln because he didn’t do enough for people of color).  The voters also recalled and tossed their PC DA.

5) And Last, the Red Sox have the best record in baseball over the last month.

But, they only gained 1/2 game on us. 

Also,  here’s a good thing…  Now they won't make mid-season talent dumps and reload their farm system. Much like our Aaron Judge dilemma they are going to have to ride their impending free agents to the finish line. Except their finish line ends in the first round. 

Why? Because they suck.
