Coping With the Yankees 7 Game Losing Streak
The Tank had two strikes against him Friday night. I had a ticket to the Red Sox - Yankees game but couldn't go because I was working late on a Windows XP migration at work. (Strike 1). Strike 2 was the fact that the Yankees lost their fourth straight to the Red Sox and seventh straight overall in this very young season.
Instead of drowning my tears in beer, I decided to squeeze in a workout at the gym and catch the end of the painful 11-4 defeat to the Red Sox and the late, late movie. It just wasn't any movie, it was none other than "Blades of Glory" starring Will Ferrell as Chaz Michael Michaels and Jon Heder as Jimmy. Chaz and Jimmy make an unlikely comeback as former banned singles figure skating champions who join forces to compete as the first ever same sex figure skating pair.
It made me, albeit for a brief time, LMAO and forget the Yankees problems. Since I was in the movies, I had to shut off the ringer which was a good thing because I didn't have to hear Robert in Tampa and/or Medford Bob call and vent about the Yankees pitching. Robert in Tampa and Medford Bob are great friends but I can only afford one sports related emotional breakdown per calendar year. I wish I was Yankee GM Brian Cashman to try to fix the Yankees problems but am not so please stop calling late at night because I need to sleep, not much, but sometime. Being the Tank is a 24 hour job and I not only write about sports, but I live and breathe them. It's to the point that my friend PG calls me "24" like Jack Bauer on "24", the best show on TV, because I don't sleep much.
Back to the movie. It had a number of priceless lines like Chaz's "I skate to one song and one song only, My Humps, by the Black Eyed Peas." There were also too many funny scenes and lines to blog. If you haven't seen it, please do so. It's just what the doctor ordered.
As for the Yankees, please continue to pray for them as I book a flight to Houston to beg Roger Clemens to pitch for us ASAP.
