Truer Words Were Never Spoken

I thought I'd share something that Geoff, one of my fellow Yankee bloggers, had to say in an entry over on his blog, Bleeding Pinstripes. It's a great paragraph that eloquently sums up pretty much what the Yankees and their fans have to go through.
"The Yankees and their fans are never eliminated as an afterthought. They are always taken down in a public execution. They are led to the gallows to the raucous cheers of the gathered crowds. They are read the charges of high crimes and misdemeanors against them, and they are always the same. Their misdemeanor? Gluttony. Their high crime? Nobility. And then they are very publicly hanged while the throngs roar with approval. The masses will not be denied their opportunity to watch the mighty fall. And that’s okay. It’s part of what we Yankee fans sign up for. Some of us make a choice. Some of us are born into it. But all of us wouldn’t trade it for the world."
You can hate all you want. It's not going to change anything. Like Geoff said, it's part of what we signed up for.
Great job Geoff. Here's to 2007.
