The Bitterest BaseballFan
Katy sees two boys, Yankees fans around the age of 10, holding up numbers that spell out (number out?) 1-9-1-8. They chant, "Who's your daddy?" along with the rest of Yankee Stadium.
Katy: Oh, that's right, boys, laugh it up. It's so easy to be a Yankees fan, isn't it? You've won a pennant in, what, 7 of your 9 years on this planet? It's just so eaaaaasy to make fun of a team who hasn't won a pennant in 18 years. Well you know what, try fuckin' 59 years without a pennant! Try not winning the World Series since fuckin' 1908! You wanna be a fan then? It's not so easy, is it?
Jason: Um, Katy, they are like 9 years old.
Katy: Oh yeah, just laugh it up, boys! Who's your daddy? You just wait until one year you think they are going all the way and they are almost there, so very close, and then some stupid fan accidentally interferes with a crucial play, and then you watch your team collapse because they are too scared of a stupid curse involving a damn billy goat and you spend the rest of the night crying and then whenever you think about it years later you still feel like crying! Let's see you be a fan then, boys!
Jason: You are the bitterest baseball fan ever.
(I also had quite a rant at the end of the game when they showed Billy Crystal looking dejected over the loss. Sorry, Billy, your team can't win every year.)
Congrats to Boston; what a game, what a comeback, what a night to remember! And to Yankees fans, sorry your team collapsed, but I'm not really that sorry, because you have won 26 times already.
GO BOSTON!
