Now It's Over

The Yankees lose, the Yankees lose.  I wonder how that final call sounded by Yankees radio announcer John Sterling.  It probably was not as cheerful as his usual obnoxious home run and Yankees win calls.  Ron Washington and Josh Hamilton, take the cocaine and crack needles out and celebrate because you are going to the World Series. 

My dream as a Met fan came true, and his name is Colby Lewis.  Colby freakin Lewis.  The big bad Yankees could do nothing against him.  Cliff Lee is one thing, but Colby Lewis?  It was very enjoyable to watch the Yankees lose a series that most people thought they had no chance of losing.  I was one that thought the series was over after the Yankees came back and won game one.  This is one time I am glad to be wrong. 

I am so happy I will not have to puke my guts out when nauseated by a Yankee ticker tape parade.  Two years in a row would be too much to take.  The Yankees will have to hold off on a 28th championship.  This loss to Texas probably means this off season they will sign Cliff Lee, Jason Werth, and any other free agent they could get their hands on.  Lee would be the most obvious pick up because if you can't beat him, sign him.  The Yankees will give him a nice 150 million dollar pay check and attempt to buy themselves another title.  That is next year though, and for this year, they will watch the World Series from home.  As Yankee television play by play announcer Michael Kay would say, See Yah!!!
