What a great feeling, what a perfect night, even mike myers couldnt mess it up, though he tried. Shills is the man, and manny is a God.
This was in the New Yorfk Post and couldsnt resist sharing it with you guys.
September 1, 2004 -- IT could have been worse. Actually, no, it couldn't have. This was about more than the Yankees being crushed 22-0 by the Guardians last night. And suffering the most humiliating loss of the Joe Torre era with George Steinbrenner on hand. And having the left field scoreboard reveal every minute or so that Boston was beating Anaheim.
What ranked this among the Yanks' darkest days since Stump Merrill waddled in pinstripes was the timing. This was supposed to be the week the Yankees feasted against inferior foes at home while the Red Sox, well, became the Red Sox again. Instead, it is as if removing Nomar Garciaparra has enabled Boston to lift The Curse. Boston is going positively 1978 Yankees on the Yankees. And the Yanks are going positively Mets.
The lead, once 101/2, is now down to 31/2. The Yanks look like Rosie O'Donnell trying to hold off Michael Phelps in the 100 butterfly.
