Thhhhhhhe Yankees Win!!


Joe Girardi and The Yankees have won the world series.

Many years ago I was sitting in the Streetcar bar in NYC. The sports report was on the news and they were talking about the new catcher that the Yankees had just acquired named Joe Girardi. Later that night I was listening to WFAN and the Steve Sommers show. Steve Somers was going off on what a terrible idea it was to hire Joe Girardi. Steve was saying stuff like, "Oh, this is great. Joe Girardi is going to be the key that will get this team winning again."

Steve went on and on all night. I guess I couldn't sleep that night as I heard him rail about how awful this is going to be.

I always felt bad for Joe, and it turned out he was a pretty good player for The Yankees, and now he just managed them to a World Series win.

Now, I could care less about The Yankees, unless they're playing The Pirates, but I do wonder what Steve Somers is doing now.

Oh, he's still at WFAN.
