Of Course This Would Happen:
The more I hate the Yankees, the more they hate me. Or so it seems.
First of all, last night. It was November 4, it was the Night the D-Backs Won. It would always be the Night the D-Backs won. But now, because they're the Yankees, everyone will remember it as the Night the Yankees Ended Their "Drought". People will forget the D-Backs, because no one in New York other than me ranks the D-Backs higher in their rememberances than they do the Yankees. So of course they went ahead and stole that night. Okay, they steal money, they steal players, they steal the world series, they steal bases. They even steal one another's stuff! But stealing our night? The D-Backs were already linked to the Yankees with that, now it's like we're just another footnote in the pages of YANKEES ALL THE TIME ZOMG WE ARE SO COOL.
Secondly, overnight my whole became a Yankee fan: literally half the people I saw were wearing Yankees gear. Jerseys, hats, t-shirts, jackets, sweatpants...it was Yankees Central. I have never seen most of these people show any sign that they were Yankee fans before: it was just a cruel reminder before they start shouting, "27! 27! 27!" when they know nothing about baseball. Bandwagoners annoy me so much...
Thirdly, guess where the stupid parade route goes by? City Hall. Guess how far away from City Hall my school is? A few avenues. Guess who is going to be unable to get to the subway after school tomorrow?
Ah, well. The Angels wasted no time in re-signing El Comedulce.
And it looks a lot like Billy will be in our rotation in 2010: Yusmeiro Petit got claimed off of waivers by the Seattle Mariners. Also, we declined Chad Tracy's options and let the Nats claim Doug Slaten...
It's good to know we're at least up to something.
ugh i hate how everyone was like "OMG YANKEES WON EVERYONE ELSE SUCKS". real original, guys. there was even one kid on my bus who claimed to be a fan but didn't know that they won 'til we told him.
i decided to wear my red sox stuff and deny the existence/importance of the world series just to piss everyone off. it was fun.
5 months til opening day! can't wait to wipe that smug little grin of their faces!

In order to help remove smiles from Yankee fans in NY, try asking them how they are liking that the hard earned tax money is paying for a stadium half of them can't afford to go too, and people wonder why it's expensive to live and breathe in New York.... good luck tomorrow dodging the Yankee fair-weather fans...

People may forget the Dbacks from '01, but I WON'T. The 2001 WS was the most exciting WS I've seen since 1986. The combo of Johnson/Schilling and Gonzo's bloop will forever be etched in my memory. Who won the game last night? LOL.
