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.
