Great blog. I hope to make one last game at Shea, on Endy Chavez Bobble Head Doll night. I'm guessing I may then have the only one in West Michigan.<BR/> RickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-27616909986272920752007-07-06T15:22:00.000-04:002007-07-06T15:22:00.000-04:00We ran out of shirts just before CRod requested on...We ran out of shirts just before CRod requested one.

Perhaps that's not entirely true, either. There is an extra bounce to my step as the Yankees weep. After all, it's not like I'm causing them to suck. It's just happening.<BR/><BR/>Aw heck, you called me on it, Tim. Truth be told, people think I was hanging decorations and setting off fireworks because of Independence Day. Just a coincidence. The Evil Empire has inflicted so much pain that I was practically doing cartwheels in the office. As for the fireworks, typically we get the supermarket-sized box.<BR/><BR/>But the Yankees below .500 in July? That called for a Costco-sized box, then a trip to the guys selling fireworks out of the U-Haul in the strip mall parking lot to get something extra-special for the finale! Plus, they had something called "The Climbing Panda" where a cardboard panda really did climb through the sparks in a salute to Yankee shame. <BR/><BR/>It was a glorious thing!Mets Guy in Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048899230969074579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-75594266091356618292007-07-04T15:35:00.000-04:002007-07-04T15:35:00.000-04:00Dave,There are few things in life that give me mor...Dave,<BR/>There are few things in life that give me more enjoyment of Yankee failure. 1. My Family, 2. A losing season for the Raiders, Bills, Pats and of course the Doll-Fins. 3. World peace, but, sorry Miss America, at my advanced years I realize that is unattainable. So in fact, I am truly basking in the Yankee misery. You are kind to say your not basking, but are you being totally honest my affable Bard of blogs, my soothsayer of all thing baseball? I think not!! I know how you feel, deep down inside. Dave, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls are in baseball stadiums and have to be guarded by men with gloves. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Mike from Long Island? We have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. Some weep for the Yankees, and you curse Steinbrenner. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not digging deep inside. The demise of the Yankees, while some consider tragic, probably saved baseball. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to Mike from Long Island (doll-fins fan), saves baseball. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want the players on that wall, you need them on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending baseball. A-Rod and Jeter use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a Yankee fan. For them to shun my support to the better NY team (METS), and then question the manner in which I provide it! I would rather everyone just said thank you, and went on there way. Otherwise, I suggest we all pick up a glove, and stand a post. Either way, I don't believe you don’t, deep down inside, enjoy every minute of this mister, save it for the Sunday Sermon.<BR/><BR/><BR/>P.S.
