Lightbulb Yankees Choke

This is the note I received from a co-worker, a Boston fan.

We are the more recent champions. Only 2 years ago, I remember
that a certain team had won 3 straight playoff games. Needing only 1 more
victory, that certain team proceded to make history. Not only baseball
history but history that covered the entire realm of professional sports.
That 1 victory was within grasp when it happened, oh so close. Only 2 outs
away when it happened.

The Choke.


4 straight losses and elimination from the playoffs. Oh, I remember
well.



The Choke.


Never before, had a team bombed so bad.

Now the 2004 World Series was won by the Victors of that playoff series.
The losers keep spending and spending in hopes to buy a World Series
championship, but as in years past, to no avail.

The Yankees are the new Atlanta Braves, Always a bridesmaid, never the
bride. (despite spending 205,000,000 dollars).



I would like to respond to this - but I've only recently started following and don't have much knowledge yet. If you'd like to help me, please do.

Re: Yankees Choke

I'm a Mets fan...but that's just a Boston fan trying to stick it to the Yanks.

But remember who will be sitting home this October!
