Down and Out
By Joe Davis
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of United States of North America of the World brought Yankee Nation to their knees Monday night.
I, on the other hand, was cheering. If my Sawx are out of the playoffs, those Damn Yankees better be as well.
My eyes lit up as A-Rod came up to bat with one runner on. He was the potential tying run. A-Rod who has been silenced in the series so far (No homeruns, no RBIs), grounded into the double play. If anything, I knew that A-Rod would be the perfect goat to blame.
However, he wasn't the only Yankee to be blamed. Joe Torre decided to start Bubba Crosby in centerfield and Jason "I'm sorry for taking 'roids, but I'm taking them now" Giambi at first base. This management led to a collision in rightfield, that Gary Sheffield would have easily handled if Bernie Williams was covering centerfield. The reason for that is, Bernie Williams is slower than Kevin Millar hopping on one leg. This led to a triple and 2 runs.
Later on, Giambi would fire home to try to get the speedy Vladdy but would be unsuccesful. These 3 runs would be the difference maker and the Yankees would be celebrating in California and heading out to ChiTown tonight.
Now, they will be sulking home to New York.
Wait 'till next year New York.... Wait 'till next year.
One more thing: The Yankees Lose....TEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH YANKEEEEEES LOSE!!!!!!!!!!
