Everything everyone has said in this thread is absolutely correct. Who are we to judge right and wrong. Why do the Yankees even have to play these games? Permanent champions, just like in the 50s. C. C. Sabathia for Cy Young. Judge for ROY & MVP and for a GQ cover. Why should he have to wait 15 years for Cooperstown’s call? And let’s not forget DiDi, Derek who? If Chapman won last year’s Series, not a problem, we’ll just buy him. We ought to return to the days when Kansas City was essentially a Yankee farm team. If we need Norm Siebern or Bobby Shantz, KC will just send them over. If they fail, we’ll just take Bob Cerv and Art Ditmar. The Bronx Bombers shouldn’t have to call up “minor leaguers” as long as KC is in the same league. Have them throw in Hector Lopez too. They’ve already lost 100 games after all. The almighty Yankees were crowned decades before the Colt 45s were born. How could a team from Houston be considered a worthy foe. They play in a square park named after orange juice. Their best player wouldn’t be the tallest guy on the winning team in Williamsport this year. Their best pitcher has only been on the team since the first of September, and who knows where he’ll be next April. If Houston prevails in this series, the fix must certainly be in. But remember “Casey at the Bat” and pray that it isn’t prophetic. For somewhere in the favored land the sun is shining bright, a band is playing somewhere and somewhere hearts are light, and somewhere men are laughing and somewhere children shout, but there”ll be no joy in Mudville, when the mighty Judge has struck out.
