Y2K
By lefty
In most years, all the pressure of winning is on the reigning champ. Not this year.
Just like Steinbrenner's three-year-old thoroughbred horses are bred to win the Triple Crown, this $2 million, 2005 Yankee Baseball team was assembled to win the World Series. Anything less is a failure. Even just making it into the Series is not acceptable. The boss feels entitled to the ultimate win - or he feels like he's been robbed.
Most Red Sox players will be wearing new jewelry when they step up to the plate today. The sparkle and glare of the diamond will undoubtedly be noticed by the opposing third baseman.
They write of the curse of A-Rod or the curse of Don Mattingly. We wonder about the curse of Y2K. Why 2000? Did something happen to flip this affliction off the Boys from Beantown and flop it onto the Boys from the Bronx? What else could explain the utter and unprecedented collapse of the 2004 New York Yankees? What explains the Yankees becoming the only team in MLB history to loose a series after being ahead 3-0?
Because our site is dedicated to keeping a faithful eye on the team we love to root against, we’ve established a button and a web page to remind the baseball world that the curse does live! The fickle finger of fate now points squarely at those who for so long depended on that last-minute, odds-defying, cruel Red Sox flub to hand the win to them. We're asking for your theories on how the curse got reversed — and how to keep the baseball gods on OUR side for a change. Have a happy 2005 season, Yankees and enjoy your new friend… The Curse — Reversed!!
The YankeesSuck.com original Curse: Reversed Button can be purchased here, or in selected retail establishments. Show those Yankee fans that their tired old chant is over - forever! Now the joke's on them..
