The New Boss

As you all know, I am from the great state of Texas; where not only is everything BIGGER, but better when it comes to our baseball (and football, but that story's for another day!). Many of you are undoubtedly watching the ALCS, who ISN'T?! is the real question...

As an devoted, loyal and some-what rowdy Boston Red Sox fan I have come to accept their painful season as one of the past and have made the decision to root for the beloved Texas Rangers. How can you not love the Rangers, with Nolan Ryan as owner and the former President of the United States dropping by for a friendly game of stick ball...But with 3 or 4 games down (I've lost count with all the winning!) the excitement has worn off a bit, not that I don't love winning, but I am a fan of the come-back team! Boston goes 3 games losing to the Yankees and as we're all starting to get a little down, as if it's destiny, we win 4 straight and win the whole damn series. That's my kinda game, I love the rush.

"Get to the point!" you're shouting.

The purpose of this entire post is to say: Down with the Yankeeeesssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhh

I don't know many people that wouldn't agree with that statement. The New York Yankees are the main reason baseball is the re-played, steroid using, million dollar salaried game of today. I miss the good ole days where if you've jacked 600 home-runs, it's because YOU.ARE.AMAZING hands-down. I guess I should point my finger more specifically at George Steinbrenner, but I have been taught to never speak ill of the dead. So, shame on you Yankees. You suck.
