Note: This World Series has not been Easy
The Yankees defeated the Phillies last night, tying the World Series at one game each.
…i would love to know what is going through the minds of Jeff Wilpon and Omar Minaya when seeing these two teams on the same field, in October, and with, of all people, Pedro Martinez on the mound, while the Mets are no place in site… for the most part, i am sure they’re happy for those involved, they’re good men and i know they’re supporting specific colleagues and friends in the game, as they should be… but, i have to think, at least once per game, if not more, they’re shaking their heads in dismay, just like you and i…
Speaking of which, Eric Simon of Amazin Avenue has changed his vote.
Simon started the Series rooting for the Yankees… but, as he puts it, “It is with awkwardness and little fanfare that I now reluctantly declare myself a World Series supporter of the Phillies.”
…i understand, eric… i started out rooting against the Phillies, too… and, for the most part, i have been consistent… but, i will not lie, at least a dozen times per game i find myself instinctively reacting with happiness when Derek Jeter strikes out, or when Alex Rodriguez gets booed, or when CC Sabathia lets up a run… i can’t help it… it’s like breathing… but, then i see Chase Utley rounding third on a home run, and i immediately revert back to rooting against him… it’s all so confusing… and i don’t like it… i don’t really care who wins anymore, i just want it to end…
Update, 9:35 am:
Speaking of the Yankees, the guys at Daily Tailgate have a pretty funny chart up, helping to answer, ‘Which Yankee are you?”
