Oh, How the Worm has Turned
Hey, remember how Yankees fans used to look down on Red Sox fans for our massive inferiority complex and obsession with history and curses?
Yeah, me neither:
Meanwhile, in the Bronx, they’re concerned that polyester threading might lead to 86 years of an Ortiz jinx, digging through two feet of concrete to pull out an absolutely intangible sign of their impending doom.
Yankee fans always had the curse to lean on when it came to facing their rivals. Now that it’s “dead,” they’re walking around in the dark seeking enlightenment, a group of lost soldiers that Scientology could have a field day with.
Along comes Castignoli, and New York can’t even wait 48 hours before proving to the world its dysfunctional front office ways. Initially laughing it off as a prank, the Yankees couldn’t get the jersey out of their collective heads, ordering it dug up at the site yesterday, where construction workers held it up with alternating smiles and looks of embarrassment for the cameras.
As for Castignoli, Hank Steinbrenner urged the other workers to “kick the (expletive) out of him” while the team considers filing criminal charges against him. Can Yankee fans counter by suing the Yankees for making an entire fan base look like a group of nail-biting worry warts?
You stay classy, Empire…
