Yes to all you New Yorkers who support the best team in the majors, the New York Yankees. We just ended a huge weekend against the Red Sox. This 4 game sweep indicates that this may be the year we go on to do big things. The Yankees started this cycle of signing players of big status to huge contracts and since 2000 we do not have that championship to show for it. Of course, we have continue to make the playoffs (with the exception of a couple of years) and that is good enough for most teams in sports period, but the Yankees put so much on themselves and build a roster of teams to which anything less than a World Series win is a dissapointing year.
As unfortunate as it is, it's how the Steinbrenner clan has built this organization. And especially this year, with the big free agent signings in the off-season, the Yankees are primed to go all the way. Now, I am not getting too happy about this 4-game sweep of the Sox, which make sit 7 straight wins for the Yankes, but it was a big series to put them up even further in the division. Plus, it sends a message to the Red Sox themselves, who have all but owned us the past couple of seasons. It is good for our psyche as well as letting the Red Sox know that this year we are here and they will have to contend with us. Anything the Yanks can build on the Red Sox is big money. So, as much as we can enjoy this weekend and the way the Yanks have been playing so far this summer, let's not get overjoyed, but continue to ride this train out. Let's hope I will be blogging in October over the Yankees in the World Series.
By the way, who the hell let all these Red Sox fans into Yankee Stadium. Their fans sound almost as loud as ours. Get them the hell out of here!!
