YANKEES LOSE!!!YANKEES LOSE!!!YANKEES LOSE!!!

[edbermac]

But then again, is it wrong for me to cheer for a team once owned by George W Bush?

[mreilly]

1. I have no qualms...

... about cheering for a team from the reddest of red states, who just beat a team from the bluest of blue states. Baseball is beyond politics: screw the Yankees and their megamillion-dollar payroll, not to mention their legions of self-righteous, self-entitled fans who call the Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahmbulance if their precious team doesn't win the WS, each and every single year from here to kingdom come.

True talent and grit won out against big money and corporate influence tonight. Let's celebrate the little guy getting a chance after shoving the fat cat out of the way!!

2. Okay, I'll hold my nose then.

Very tightly.

7. Reddest of red states? A team from Idaho is in the Series!

[Initech]

3. I'd rather cheer for the Rangers than the New York Billionaires.

And look at it this way - the Rangers get to shake off the demons of the Bush years! :toast:

4. A-Rod caught looking, ending the season.

Sweet dreams are made of this.

5. Fuck him, he has nothing to do with this team.

They have shaken off the stink of all the crap owners who came before Greenberg and Ryan. (And thank providence that Mark Cuban didn't get his hands on the team.)

This team has what the current incarnations of the Mavericks and Cowboys severely lack; heart.

So, to celebrate, here are the lyrics from 'Damn Yankees' a show about the then hapless Washington Senators, who later went on to become the Texas Rangers, and the words apply to the 39 years in the wilderness where Rangers fans have been.

You've gotta have heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win
That's when the grin should start
You've gotta have hope
Mustn't sit around and mope
Nothin's half as bad as it may appear
Wait'll next year and hope
When your luck is battin' zero
Get your chin up off the floor
Mister you can be a hero
You can open any door, there's nothin' to it but to do it
You've gotta have heart
Miles 'n miles n' miles of heart
Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course
But keep that old horse
Before the cart
First you've gotta have heart


A great slugger we haven't got


A great pitcher we haven't got


A great ball club we haven't got


What've we got?


We've got heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win
That's when the grin should start


We've got hope
We don't sit around and mope
Not a solitary sob do wwe heave
Mister, 'cause we've got hope


We're so happy that we're hummin'


Hmm-hmm-hmm


That's the hearty thing to do


Hoo-hoo-hoo


'Cause we know our ship will come in


Hmm-hmm-hmm


So it's ten years overdue


Hoo-hoo-hoo
We've got heart
Miles 'n miles 'n miles o' heart


Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course


Butt keep that old horse before the cart


So what the hecks the use of cryin'?


Why should we curse?


We've gotta get better, 'cause we can't get worse!


And to add to it, we've got heart
We've got heart
We've got heart

We've got heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win
That's when the grin should start


We're so happy that we're laughin'


Ha ha ha


That's the hearty thing to do


Hoo-hoo-hoo


So we ain't been autographin'


Ha ha ha


'Cept to sign an I.O.U.


Hoo-hoo-hoo


We've got heart
Miles 'n miles n' miles of heart
Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course
But keep that old horse
Before the cart


Who minds those pop bottles flyin'?


The hisses and the boos


The team has been consistent


Yeah, we always lose


But we're laughin' cause... We've got heart


We've got heart... We've got heart

6. I hate the yankess BUT I wish they would have won tonight...

That way the Giants would have played the day game tomorrow. And seeing how I am going to be at the Bridge School benefit tomorrow that would have worked. Now I gotta be playing wit my phone all day to keep up.
