It's a Good Day to Be a Yankee Fan

Five games in four days. A lot of things could have gone down last weekend. A sweep wasn't expected by any objective fan. Boston's season isn't over, but their chances at the AL East almost are. They can't expect the Yankees to go on a similar skid while the Sox simultaneously go on a hot streak.

Of course for that to happen, the only thing the Red Sox can control is how well they play up until they come to Yankee Stadium on September 15-17. You'll hear everyone say, "Take it one game at a time," "Just concentrate on winning today," shit like that. It's corny and clichéd, but it's true. You'll be watching the out-of-town scoreboard, but the idea is to try to win every single game. There's no solace in seeing the team ahead of you lose if you can't capitalize on it.

I know this sounds more like a consolation note to Red Sox Nation than a celebratory post of a die-hard Yankee fan, but I did state that the East is pretty much out of reach for Boston. You can find arrogant articles and lame excuses anywhere. Logic and reason are hard to come by in this rivalry, even from sports reporters.
