Well if this grueling 7 game ALCS with Tampa Bay has taught us anything it is that the Yankees are totally and completely fucked for the foreseeable future.    Because the Drays aren’t going anywhere anytime soon and neither are we.  So that means the Yankees are always going to be odd man out.  Because there is no way they are better than us and there is no way they are better than them.    I’m talking it may be 10 years before the Bombers are back in the playoffs.    So as much as it sucked for Red Sox fans to sit through games 3 and 4, it must have been twice as depressing for New York fans.    I mean even the most optimistic Yankee fan has to know that they can’t compete in the AL East anymore.   Sad day for Yankee fans indeed.

Oh and as far as the rest of the ALCS goes, wake me up when we lose game 4.   Because according to my records every time we’ve been down 3-1 in the ALCS this century we’ve come back not only that series, but win the whole god damn thing.    In other words now we really have Tampa Bay right where we want them.  And for anybody who says this year is different I say bullshit.   19-8 in Game 3 vs. the Yankees felt much more helpless than this.   This is just like a mosquito bite or something. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
