Droppin

+1

Okay its a few days late, I’d like to say that its late because I have spent the last three days celebrating the New York Yankees 2009 World Championship (thats 27 for those of you scoring at home) but the reality is that the same night our fearless heroes brought championship home to the bronx I came down with a nasty case of the flu (no I don’t think its full blown swine flu but I may go as far as calling it Piglet) that I am still battling.

Anywho a day or three late and a dollar (or a few hundred million for the Yankees) short but I just wanted to congratulate them on a job well done and a relief to finally win again after our little dry spell.  27 championships, thats basically 25% of the championships since 1900.  1 in 4 people, does it just totally suck to be a fan of any other team?

And if you are keeping track, here is another reminder of how my 2009 sports fandom has gone:

NCAA Mens Basketball – UNC Tarheels National Champions

NBA – LA Lakers World Champions

MLB – NY Yankees World Champions

NFL – Indianapolis Colts 8-0….??? Lets just say if your a betting man put some money on the Colts baby!  (Seven and dropping can not be held responsible for any monetary losses or otherwise from following my advice)

(*you’ll notice no NCAA football team listed.  My two favorite teams aren’t exactly lighting the world on fire and originally I thought that my mojo wasn’t going to work for everything this year however I realized that my mojo doesn’t apply to fake sports that don’t crown a real champion with a playoff.)
