11.05.09 BASEBALL SEASON IS OVER
The New York Yankees won their 27th World Series last night after beating the Phillies in Game 6 by a score of 7-3. Hideki Matsui decided to show the world that even one of the ugliest Japanese players to ever put on pinstripes can be a “true Yankee.” Matsui hit .615 for the series with three home runs and eight RBIs, including six last night. Oh, and he only played in three games because he was a DH.
“It’s awesome,” Matsui said through a translator. “Unbelievable. I’m surprised myself.”
“I guess it’s hard to make a comparison. When I was in Japan, that was the ultimate goal. Being here, winning the World Series, becoming world champions, that’s what you strive for here.” –Y! Sports.
Phillies slugger Chase Utley and his five series homers were making a case for the MVP award, but his 0-for-3 night certainly quashed his chance of being the second player ever to win the award while playing for the losing team.
So yeah, SportsCenter will be essentially unwatchable for non-Yankee fans over the next 24 hours. But if you’re not a Yankees fan, don’t fret. Because pitchers and catchers report in about six weeks. And no, “pitchers and catchers” was not meant as a gay euphemism, but if you are gay and that last sentence got you excited, then that’s my bad.

I am a diehard Yanks fan, but someone’s gotta say it, Whassa da matta, Matsrooey, No speakra da ringrish?
Godzirra!

I’ll avoid SportsCenter even harder than I usually do.
“Thanks, the RBI’s were awesome, hopefully this makes up for the internment camps. “
A true underdog story here. So inspiring. If at first you don’t succeed, buy buy again.
24 Hours? More like 24 YEARS - AMIRITE?!?
Seriously? Fuck the Yankees.
If that “seriously?” is directed at me, you are sorely mistaken. Hate ‘em with a passion.
My Yankees won the World Series last night because, clearly, I am a much better fan than all of you. They could not have done it without me. YOU ARE ALL TERRIBLE COMPARED TO ME AND MY SUPERIOR FANDOM.
Damn Dimpie, I wanted that one. The second I saw he still needs a translator, I was going to ask how hard is it to learn “Fogetta ’bout it” and “Yo, thisa good cannoli, but not az good az ma mama makes”
Forever?
An true underdog story?
Maybe an under-cooked dog story!
POW!
Sure they spent what it would cost to buy Belgium in the offseason, sure Yanks fans are arrogant, obnoxious, with a sense of entitlement, but c’mon, they define clutch and exhibit a chemistry not seen since A League Of Their Own.
/skipping work tomorrow to get shitty for the parade

Who the fuck are the Mets?
