Yeah I think it sucks. Look we all want our team to win and this year Boston came back and whooped us. It is that simple. Do I like it? No way... but do anyone of us say we are "entitled" to it? I say "NO!"
We have great players and many of them have the heart to win but in the end... we lost to Boston. As terrible a loss as it was I can only take my hats off to them. They came back from the brink and did it. That is what great baseball is all about and in some small way I am hoping they break the curse.
My friends from Boston act like they have not had sex since 1918 and it drives them to madness... Every year they go nuts explaining why they lost. "Yankees over pay their people... Yankees this and Yankees that..." Ugh... in the end I'm praying they win it just so they shut up about their excuses.
Yeah, this whole thing about NYY fans thinking they are "entitled" to WS rings is a joke. We understand that we spend bagillions of dollars, and if we don't win, that shows how terribly mismanaged the team has been.
We didn't deserve to win the ALCS because Joe Torre didn't realize that when a knuckle-baller is throwing 60 mph to a catcher unaccustomed to his stuff, the man on first base HAS TO RUN. But Torre had Sheffield stay. And a ground ball to the left side and two passed balls later, the Yankees finally realized that their mistake cost them the game.
Kudos to Boston.
Screw Kerry.
