There's Some Things Money Can't Buy, But a World Series Championship Isn't One of Them. For Everything Else, There's Mastecard.

Well, here we are, November 2009, and the Yankees have won their 27th World Championship. For anyone who didn't see this coming, please,...did you see how much money the Yankee's have spent on this team? Oh well, even though I hate the Yankees, because,....well,...they kind fall into that group of teams that if you're not a fan of them, you hate them. (See Notre Dame, USC, Patriots, etc) But I can't fault them for doing what they can to win the games that matter. If other teams could afford to do so, they would. Just wait till you see what an uncapped year in the NFL next year will do to a season. What I can't stand is the "die hard" Yankee fans that instantly came out of the woodwork last night? Who are these people? Where have they been for the past 8 years? I guess I just don't understand who these people are. I mean, these are people with no affiliation with New York City, or state. These are people who have probably not watched a single regular season game from start to finish, but probably watched the ESPN highlights each morning when they found out the Yankees made it to the World Series. Most of these individuals probably couldn't even name three starters on the team that didn't include A-Rod or Jeter. Today I was confronted by a coworker, (She will remain anonymous, and if she's reading this, please take it in stride) and she told me that she was upset last night about my calling out of the "out of the woodwork" Yankee fans. I asked her to answer a simple question, "Please name three of that starters last night." After a short pause, I got an unconfident ".....the......uh....pitcher." I asked, "Oh that guy on the big dirt hill? What was the starting pitchers name?" No answer. In all fairness, she did know the closing pitcher.

In short, Way to go Yankees on your 27th World Championship. I still hate you, but you might have taken second place to the impostors that claim to be your fans. They are more annoying than seeing you in the playoffs every year. Especially when my Cardinals struggle to make the playoffs and then fall apart on most occasions.

For my Douche-O-The-Day award today I recognize Derek Jeter for his comments after the game where he claimed that it's been so long since the Yankees have won a championship that he almost forgot what it feels like. Please, you have five championship rings now. I feel real bad for you.... Douche.

It was good to hear that the Yankee Manager Joe Girardi was kind enough to help a woman on his way home after she wrecked her car. I think I might have just kept driving if I had just a world series title. Not because I'm an asshole, but probably because I would be too wasted from all the champagne and wouldn' want to be on the scene when the cops arrived...

Way to go "Ultimate Yankee Fan" I'm happy for you,...really,...really,...okay I understand you have been a fan all your life,...ok,...I believe you...yes I can see your shirt,...it proves you are a fan,...yes,...okay...
