Being a Yankee fan is like being an American. Everyone is aware of what you're doing, everyone is quick to bad-mouth you, everyone blames you for all the evils, but when you come to town even the smallest markets sell out their crummy seats.
The analogy being that for such a crap country, people sure do break their asses to get into it. They also have no trouble allowing us to forgive their debts, and come to their aid when something goes wrong that is too large for them to handle themselves. Baseball needs the Yankees.
Let's just say I'm confused about what happened. Certainly in basic terms our pitching could be blamed (Thanks Roger! How's life, Carl Pavano? That bicep holding up ok, Andy? Where did you go, Wang?) Does offensive need to be discussed? You could shove our whole lineup in one inch of copper tubing.
I'm always going to be a Yankee fan. I survied the eighties. I understand George Steinbrenner better after having watch The Bronx is Burning, and empathize with the frustration that must come with being up in the box watching over a billion dollars invested fall flat on it's face (maybe not a billion, but sometimes it sure feels like it). Like G.W. we will collectively continue to do what we believe is right, and just hope the rest of the world sees that we have set goals, and we're doing our best to accomplish them, for it's own sake.
