The Yankees were in a great battle with the Angels earlier tonight. Unfortunately, the Yanks were unable to pull out the win, losing the game 7-6. However, the Yanks are still up 3 games to 2.
If they win Saturday night, the Yanks will become the ALCS Champions and move on to the World Series. It has been quite a drought for the last few years, and a WS appearance is long overdue.
I have been a Yankees fan since I was a kid, and let me tell you the last few years have been HORRIFIC! And to all the critics- Yes, they have the biggest payroll, and yes, they have some of the best if not most ANNOYING players on any team in the MLB. I know these things but I caught the Yankee bug young from my dad.
One of my favorite memories has to have been watching them play the Rockies a couple years ago (the Rockies are my #2 team). Even though they got SWEPT, it was a great experience. Had they not been in CO I would have never been able to see them.
Maybe someday I will be able to afford a trek to the 'new' Yankees Stadium in NYC but if not that is fine too. Sort of took away from the legend by taking the old stadium out after all.
GO YANKEES!!!!

I've never followed baseball, but I did go to a preseason game in Arizona one year with my college roommate, and it was really fun.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to go up to Denver one of these days and see a football game. Denver is about my least favorite team though, so I'd be cheering for the other guys...
