I may not be street smart and all that, but at least I know not to be that dumb!

First of all, before I begin, extra points goes to the person who can tell me what movie my entry title is from... and now my entry:

So I had a Boston fan talk to me (that's right, one of them DARED to talk to me) and try to gloat that the Red Sox won the last game of the AL East Division Series. I just looked at him blankly and said, but we (NYY) won the division title. And he says, but that's not the issue, we won the game. NO SILLY BOY! That's like saying, the war is lost, but we won that one battle that one time against those little boys and it ROCKED. See how silly that sounds? Yes, you all won a game that we didn't care about because we'd already clinched. Some people say that's why professional sports sucks, for love or money, and all that bullshit, but I say its the economics of a sport like baseball where pitching cycle means everything and if you have a chance to give your players a break then you take it because Lord knows October is here and they're not going to have one for a while. It's things like that which make the NYY such a successful team, because when it comes down to it, everyone overspends on their teams, but our coaching staff at least knows how to use our overpaid players in the most effective manner with the longest lasting result. So go have fun chasing that wild card Boston, and hopefully we'll meet again in the ALCS...
