Red Sox fans... let Yankee fans have tonight
Seriously.
Don’t try to taunt.
Don’t try to engage Yankee fans.
We have no ammo right now. The Yankees were better this year. This was the Yankee’s year.
Let Yankee fans gloat. I know it will be physically painful but it’s the right thing to do.
Yeah Yankee fans are going to be obnoxious…
Yeah Yankee fans are going to be in our ear from this moment through all next season.
But we weren’t exactly a dream to be around in 2004 and 2007.
Yeah it was fun having won 2 World Series since the last time the Yankees won a playoff series…
But that’s over now.
Don’t bring up payroll. Our payroll is obscene as well and the rest of baseball equates the Red Sox and Yankees anyhow.
Don’t bring up ‘roids. Yeah A-Rod and Pettitte are juicers… but so were Manny and Papi.
The Yankees won it fair and square.
We’ll get them next decade.
(By the way, THIS century… we’re tied.)
No, Sully. We lead them 2-1 in the 21st century. Their previous title was in 2000, the final year of the 20th century. As we all know, a century can't begin with a "0" at the end, only a "1", so this century began in 2001.
ReplyDelete102 days until pitchers and catchers report.
It can't come soon enough.

ReplyDeleteWell said Sully, I know you guys will be gunning for us next year.
ReplyDeleteWhat we now have is a true 2 way Rivalry, That is the way Baseball should be.
