Yesterday, the Yankees were down 2-0 against the Cubs for almost the entire game. I checked the score on my phone as I got in the car, about to make my way home. When I saw they were still down 2-0, in the top of the 9th, I didn't bother to tune in and listen to the last three outs. After all they were playing the current World Series Champions. The Yankees got two on and Brett Gardner swung for the fences; the score going into the bottom of the ninth was 3-2 Yankees. Chapman came in and closed the game, on the day the Cubs gave him and Adam Warren their WS rings. Of course I found all this out on the news and not having seen or heard it live. Me, of little faith.
I should have known better. This team for the first time in years is never completely out of any game, whether they are down 2 or 9 runs; whether it's the 2nd inning or the 9th. The Yankees, filled with youth and exuberance, are showing it's fans and all of baseball, "It ain't over till it's over"
Yesterday taught me the lesson of never giving up on this team, my team. They won't always come back, but when they do, I won't miss it.
As usual, Go Yankees!
