| :: 2003 26 October :: 10.08 am :: Mood: relieved [ edit | delete ] the art of losing wow. we lost. but im not going to sit here and mope and complain, as there are many things to blame it on. lack of clutch hitting, bad relief work by ahem jose, errors, the hugeness of joe robbie stadium. these are all things that if made opposite, the yankees could have easily won the series. but they didnt, so why try to justify the past and whats already happened. true fans will say "wow that was an amazing season, we'll get em next year, hey we beat boston" and thats what it was like being in yankee stadium, in my opinion, one of the top 5 most amazing places on this earth, as that ground ball by posada was thrown to first (or was he tagged out, idk i didnt watch) and the marlins started celebrating, not one of us shed a tear. everyone was proud of the boys for the crazy ride they had gone through this year, and the way they managed to pull that club together and get this far. am i sad? yes, do i wish they would have won? yes, am i dissapointed in the players? absolutely not. the yankees and their fans pride and dignity cannot be shaken by any loss, not even in the world series, at home, without any runs, to an expansion team, yes an expansion team. the yankees have been around for a century. the tradition behind that team is so amazing, and the fact that they can have a classic-go-down-in-history-come-from-way-behind win in the bottom of the 11th at home in game 7 of the alcs against boston the second best team in baseball, shows that the heart, soul, and talent of the yankees cannot be touched by any loss not even in the world series, at home, without any runs, to an expansion team. I am so happy that this year i finally followed my liking for the yankees. im really surprised though at how much i learned and how much i really love baseball and that team. and even though my first year as a serious fan didn't end nessesarily the best way, i could not be any happier. so on monday and tuesday and when i go to miami, i will wear my baseball cap with great pride because i dont feel more proud wearing anything else. as joe dimaggio said "id like to thank the good lord for making me a yankee" :) so congratulations yankees on an amazing season...you deserved all of it. and dont blame yourselves or anything else. its okay to lose every once in a while, it only makes you stronger and better. good luck and your fans will be waiting your return when the 2004 yankees are goin all the way again, and this time winning :) ^^^My post after the Yanks lost the world series a year ago. Obviously things are a little different than they were then. There was no dramatic game 7 win. Boston beat us. But reading that sort of gives me a glimmer of hope that I'll be able to get over this sooner than I thought. I've accepted that the Sox (gulp..) DESERVED to win this. They fought their mfing asses off and played with so much heart. Losing is okay. Crushing, heartbreaking, go-down-in-history, potential curse breaking losses, are okay... We just haven't had 86 years of practice. :) So, we'll see you in 05 Yanks. I can't fucking wait. It's gonna be another crazy, amazing year. I'm so grateful to have something like this to look forward to, follow, and be passionate about. I'm happy to experience something like this so young to get used to crushing losses. Hopefully there won't be many more soon. Things are gonna be a little more boring without a game to watch every night, but hey, there's always next year. AND GO CARDINALS! |
