Given that when the game started I was sitting in a Hospital Emergency room finishing up some treatment and by the time Pedro had really blown the game I was pretty much out of it and asleep, I'm not quite sure what happened, and can't make any big comments on that game.
Look the Yankees won, they proved to be the best team this season, they spent by far the most money again so you know, they should.
What bugs me is that when they win, it's like it just wipes away the fact that they haven't won for the past 8 years. Like this championship absolves not only them of the past 8 years of rank failure, but the vast majority of the media that just lazily assumes the Yankees will win every year as well. I mean that's really what's going on here. I know it seems like when the Yankees win and the media goes nuts celebrating it that what the media is saying is, "thank god the Yankees have saved us from having to cover all the heathens and barbarians that aren't them." That's a big part of it of course, but the biggest part is: "Thank you Yankees, for covering for the fact that we are wrong about everything just about all the time."
