Greatest Comeback in Baseball History
World Series here we come. Unbelievable.
To George Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman (rest in peace); to Alex Rodriguez and his purple lipstick; to Derek "The Winner" Jeter and Mariano "Invincible" Rivera; to everybody to laughed at the tears in my eyes after Aaron Boone crushed not only my hopes, but the hopes of an entire region; to everybody who ever shouted "1918" or "26 World Championships" as if those numbers have any relevance at all; to Jeffrey Maier and Bucky Dent; to anybody who ever argued that there was a "the Yankee way" that somehow guaranteed victory; to the entire city and region of New York, I say... [expletive deleted]. Ahem, make that... Who's your daddy now, Yankees?
Better luck next time.
World Series here we come. Unbelievable.
Update: After a night of letting this sink in, I apologize to those who may be offended by the above statement. I assure you that this was not meant for all Yankees fans. It was for the ones who laugh when the Red Sox lose, who throw garbage onto the field because the umpires don't let A-Job cheat, and who got right in my face after game 7 of the 2003 ALCS as I walked from the Campus Center commons up two flights of stairs, all the while chanting "1918" and laughing. To those people, I do not apologize. I'm sorry, but you deserve to know that your team just pulled the greatest choke job in baseball history. And to be reminded. Again. And again.
