Looking back to October '04

My baiting abilities are second to none. That's what I've learned from this thread.

Maybe the initial emotional blow of losing to Arizona was worse' date=' because it ended the championship run. The '04 series slowly slipped away in agonizing fashion. By the end, Yankee fans were in despair, but had accepted their fate. In the long run, the '04 loss was much more costly to Yankee fans, because Yankee invincibility with regard to the Red Sox was gone forever. Also, after the crushing emotions immediately following the 2001 loss, Yankee fans never had to see the DiamondBacks or their fans on a regular basis. The Red Sox and their fans are constantly around to remind the Yankee fans that the Red Sox have become the big bad boys that the Yankees used to be.[/quote']

 

This isn't true for the Yankees fans that didn't feel that ridiculous sense of invincibility.

I never said that being the underdog meant it didn't hurt. I said that it's hard to call an underdog a choker. They were supposed to lose.

 

I never said that it won't end. I assured you that it would. When it ends, I will have enjoyed every minute of it. It just can't end quickly enough for you. You yearn for those days 1996-2000. You also know that when it ends for the Sox that their is no guarantee that the yankees will reclaim top dog status. It could be the Mets. Wouldn't that be a kick in the balls.

Of course I would like to go back to 1996-2000. Why wouldn't I?

 

Also, I don't hate the Mets. They're my second favorite team. An extremely distant, almost invisible on the horizon 2nd, but still second.

My baiting abilities are second to none. That's what I've learned from this thread.

Stereotypes never tell the whole story.

People forget how good Kim was for the Sox down the stretch in '03.
