THEEEEE Yankees Win!

OK, two days ago the Yankees won their 27th World Series, as I predicted they would. I waited until now to talk about it because it seemed all the Yankees fans I know were too busy filling up Facebook with their celebratory statuses. So, not being a Yankees fan, here are the reason why I am happy the Yankees won-

1. The delicious tears of Phillies fans.

2. The delicious tears of Red Soxs (Fake) Nation

3. ESPN can finally talk about something other than the Yankees not winning a World Series. They won it, and maybe (just maybe) they can talk about teams not named the Yankees or Red Soxs.

4. ESPN can finally talk about something other than A-Rod's lack of playoff power and prowess. He was amazing this postseason. He has 18 RBI, 8 of which either tied the game or gave the Yankees a lead. He is great, and now everyone can get off his back.

5. The Founding Four, or whatever they are called. Jeter, Posada, Pettitte and Rivera. They are the stuff that every team wished they had- prospects that have carried their franchise to 5 championships in their time with the team.

6. More on Mariano. How bad ass is he? Virginia Tech can say that their entrance to "Enter Sandman" is the best in sports. I think it is really overrated because they don't finish the song. Mariano? His entrance to the same song is amazing. Its the 9th inning. 50,000 people are hoping the Yankees can hang on to a game. Some pitchers are warming up in the bullpen. Then, you hear those first notes from Hetfield's and Hammet's guitars. One man bringing thousands to his feet, then quickly saying goodnight and goodbye to all the batters he faces. Boom.

7. Face it, the Yankees have been good my entire life. I am used to them winning. They are supposed to win. There isn't anything offensive about it, it is just how the world works. I can deal with it. So congrats Yankees. Maybe one day, before I die, the Nats can win one too.
