Scored 4 free tickets to tonight's Rays, Red Sox game. :cheers:
The Yankee announcers mentioned there were only like 17,000 attendees for that game. Against the Sox no less. Florida is football country unfortunately. How could hat be though? The Rays are still in contention.
I have to say I was one of those Yankee fans that had their obituary written early. They were not playing well at all and the Sox looked unstoppable. My wife tells me I'm a bad fan and I have no faith in my team. Must be from watching those perennially bad teams throughout most of the '80's and early '90s.
They have exceeded expectations though this year and are really firing on all cylinders during the second half. A-Rod has even had some 'clutch' hits during this stretch. Jury is still out on A-Roid though, I won't change my mind about him until he drives in a crucial run in a tight playoff/World Series game. Jeter does that consistently.
Also, Jeter is about to break The Iron Horse's record for most hits as a Yankee. That's unbelievable considering some of the names he's passed already - Berra, Mantle etc.
