Remember how Squawker Jon agreed to root for the Yankees against the Phillies in the World Series? He said, and I quote, that he’d “rather see my blogging partner celebrate than Shane Victorino.” So last night was the first time Jon and I cheered for the Yankees together. How did it go? Not exactly good for the Bombers. Or for me.
Not only have his predictions been better than my own so far, but he’s not exactly a quick learner in the ways of Yankeedom. When I asked Jon to join me in chanting roll call, he started yelling payroll figures instead of names – “$300 million!” instead for A-Rod, “$190 million” for instead of Derek Jeter, etc. Not cool.
Instead of being dismayed, Jon yelped in excitement over Chase Utley’s homers, and he couldn’t help but get excited when the Yankees’ bullpen got roughed up. Some Yankee fan! I guess old habits die hard.
