Keep the Faith!


When we are children we are comforted by the stories that our parents tell us. You know the ones where the hero struggles against overwhelming odds but triumph in the end and everyone lives happily ever after.

But as we grow up we come to realize that good does not always triumph and sometimes Sam doesn’t throw the ring into the Crack of Doom. Bad things happen. Bad people triumph. The Nazi’s take over a country and kill a lot of people. The Red Sox win the World Series. Obama is elected President.

All we can do is hope and pray the good will win out in our little patch in this crazy old world. It looks bad for our boys but I have faith that the Yankees can still pull it out. CC should win his game and with a little luck we can get into their bullpen in the next game to set it all up for a game seven with Andy on the mound vs. Lee. Then we will see what we will see.

If we go down to defeat it will be principally because of Mr. Lee who has pitched superbly and shown that he is worthy of wearing the pinstripes next season. So if he beats us we will offer him the most money so he will be on our team next year. You see that is how capitalism works. You have to spend money to make money. Money talks and bullshit walks. None of this “Lets all make it fair so the little guy can compete” bullshit. That’s crazy talk. That’s commie talk.

Because everyone knows that if you don’t root for the Yankees you are a communist.

One thing's for sure, Girardi ain't no baseball genius. He has Burnett intentionally walk a weak hitter to get to Molina, who's known to be a terrific clutch hitter? And anyway why didn't he pull Burnett in the first place and bring in Joba? I'm sure he's a good guy and all that blah blah but he's not the greatest brain in baseball.

Of course I root for the Yankees!

All the greats: Sam Adams, John Adams, Paul Revere...

Sam. Throw. Right. Just read that book, Gollum bit off Frodo's finger, then fell into the crack of doom. Think of it as Obama stealing all of our money then having sex with Michelle.

They live to play another day. Roger, Yogi and Mick - forgive them, they are just old and not that good.

WHEN IS THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

I expect that to occur in Texas.

I guess I'm a commie.

Most likely a TX-CA series. Should be a good one.

I have to wait a while nino. For the legal reasons. But you guys will be the first to know I promise.

Not to get too specific and all sports analogyish but Troop and I are in the "bottom" of the 9th and things are going grand or is it grande.

Either way we are extremely exciting about the rollout of our joint venture and look forward to a wonderful reception and successful endeavor that will prove "fruitful" and hopefully multiple and have tentacles that reach out in many excellent strategic partnerships for both near term and long range goals.
