This Season Just Got A Whole Lot More Fun For Yankees Fans

First off, I am a Yankees fan and they are my favorite of all sports teams -- naturally I dislike the Red Sox. This season has been relatively disappointing as the Yanks have been throwing out both no-names and washed up players day in and day out. How they have remained competitive is beyond me. Last night changed the season from a fan's perspective, providing a spark that New York fans desperately needed. Hopefully the players have similar feelings and will translate it towards a playoff push.

I was genuinely pissed off when A-Rod was plunked and it was a reminder of how much I despise the Red Sox. What Ryan Dempster did was straight up immature and deserves zero respect. Upon further investigation, I was not surprised to learn that Dempster is divorced after getting caught cheating with his family's nanny. Again, zero respect for this chump. All of MLB can cry about how unfair it is that A-Rod is still playing, but it was the players of the MLBPA who agreed upon the rules that are allowing him to stay on the field.

Joe Girardi had a stellar night, playing all the right cards. The fire he brought out that led to his ejection was inspiring and his post-game interview was superb. He was technically right about his dismay with Red Sox fans cheering the plunk, but how could you expect any fan (especially Boston) not to cheer? A-Rod has been the most hated player in baseball for the last decade and boos are customary. Otherwise, Joe killed it. Last night's win was the sweetest one so far this year, and was a reminder of just how much I hate the Boston Red Sox. 

Truly inspiring. (Respect to the ump for not even flinching)
