Update - How rich is it that A Rod was the final out to end the series? A strikeout at that.
Maybe a bit preemptive as the Chuck Norris Texas Rangers lead the I Loath New York Yankees 5-1 in the 6th.
As my friend @FBIHOP just tweeted
Nothing unites the country like the evil empire losing.
As a fan of the Braves, I am qualified to judge when a team is done and the Yankees are done. Stick a fork in them.
Remember this guy from the other night - well he ain't cheering like that anymore this year
So perhaps something is not quite Kosher about cheering for the Rangers with the likes of Chuck Norris and George W. Bush. I pontifiricated long and hard. But you just gotta love the underdog Rangers. They have been misunderestimated for way too long. Only one of three teams that have never made the World Series. The Washington Senators by the way. Although I stand corrected that they are not the original.
And Ron Washington - Uncle Ron as he is now known to so many. Just seems like such a likable guy.
Josh Hamilton - Gotta love his redemptive story.
So A Fraud, A Rod , A Roid who the Rangers signed to a 10 year 252 million dollar contract prior to the 2001 season, bats . Remember Texas was consistently a cellar dweller during the A Rod tenure. A Rod who is either hit or miss during the postseason is batting a horrific .176 during this Division series.
So the Yankees and their zillion dollar payroll prove that the highest paid team will not win.
Okay I'm sure I've offended some of the Yankee fans out there. Lick your wounds but get back to me when you are Watching the Texas Rangers battle the San Francisco Giants in one of the unlikeliest of World Series of all time.
