It is so painful to watch this team.
Yankee Game Blues:
symptoms, nagging headaches, sweats, tourette's like uncontrollable cussing, throwing objects at expensive TV.....Chest Pains, shakes, fever, blurred vision, anxiety, depression, anger issues, vomiting, upset stomach and/or acid reflux, uncontrolled diarrhea with no warning.....or total complete bliss, (illusions de grandeur of finer times):
diagnosis: who really know....!!!
Treatment:
take 2 Aspirin, Ibuprofen, for headache, fevers, sweats, -
Rolaids and/or Prilosec, or Pepto Bismol, for upset stomach, vomiting, diahhrea, keep bed pan & vomit bucket near by -
Anger, depression, anxiety-take half a bottle of Valium, Quaaludes, and half a bottle Quart of hard liquor (toss out the beer, unless its a STOUT brew)....If symptoms persists, watch old re-runs of World Series Films.
in addition:
Learn how to pray, keep all guns locked up & throw the key away......(not for you, for the TV and neighbors sake)...do not wear sunglasses when blurred vision occurrs, call Paramedics, as this is a sign, your anger has given you aneursym or on-coming strokes. If chest pains persists after following above regiment, kiss your ass goodbye....don't forget to ask forgiveness from the Great Yankee in the Sky, your probably on your way/or going home...to the "Great" Yankee "Gig In the Sky".
If all else fails, the Paramedics can't find your house, put on Dark Side of the Moon, pour another drink, or break out the Hukka or Bong, and only time will heal.....
Or see a shrink, it can't be that bad, after all its only a ball game, (Like Hell It Is...its indeed what men/women live and/or die for....literally....
Reference: "The Bums" book and read it:
Real stories of Yanx-Bums Series NY Fans vs. Brooklyn Bums:
1 man had been a Bums fan all his life, in his mid 50s, he sat in front of his TV, dinner on his TV Tray, after a game 7 loss, he stood up, threw his beer at the TV, and fell over dead, with a heart attack, only after yelling "you dago bastards"...
2 men, shopping in the Produce section of a Supermarket, were arguing over the Series, one a Yanx Fan, the other a Bums Fan. After a long altercation of fist fighting, and the Store management unable to break up the two mens fist fight and brawl, the Bums fan pulled out a knife and stabbed the (innocent, Yanx fans are always innocent), thru the heart, where he died, bled out on top of the apples...(bums fans are never innocent, one reason they are called "Bums")
The two stories above, are actually true, annotated in the Book- "The Bums"....entirely true except for the last paragraphs parenthesis note...Tho' I dispute that.....IMO it's true alright....damn it...!!!
