[Business Day One] Spring In The Empire
Here are the exciting storylines I get to deal with as a Yankees fan this spring:
-Andy Pettitte looked decent in his Spring Training Debut, despite having to fly back and forth to Washington, DC for steroid and HGH investigation related issues.
-Lying blowhard Hank Steinbrenner descended further into self-parody after being forcibly inducted into Red Sox Nation by Boston owner John Henry.
-A bizarre cult has developed around Joba Chamberlain, a pitcher with 24 innings of professional experience.
-Yankees fans are beginning to realize how close we actually came to losing Robinson Cano and sweating at night thinking about it.
-Fans are expecting Michelle Damon to be more productive than Johnny Damon in 2008.
So this is what I’m dealing with. Let’s Go Yanks.
Serpico, Are you sure you are going to be a Yankees fan this year– ALL YEAR? Or, are you going to change your mind week by week, as you did with your NFL allegiances?
I’ll wait for three our four trips through the rotation before deciding whether or not to shed my lifelong allegiance.
