Damn, I'm shocked you guys can hear me yelling all the way from here!!!
My wife is probably sick of hearing me yell about plate discipline and not making the pitcher's work easier. (Especially since they have the better staff.)
Tell your son I know how he feels. I was 12 when the Yankees lost to the Cards in '64...and it wasn't until '76 that they got back to the World Series and got swept by Cincy. '77 and '78, however, were a bit of redemption. I was at the parade in '77. I had just inked my paperwork to come on as a federal employee and stood in front of City Hall and got to congratulate and talk to some of the Yankees.
