I hate when people think that just because I am girl, it means I can't comprehend sports or I can't be a sports fan. News flash, I can comprehend and I am a sports fan. I have always been a sports fan, and I have always played sports. I enjoyed some more than others and spent a majority of my life playing soccer. I have also spend a majority of my life watching the Yankees with my father. It was the only thing on our television from April until October. I am not a front runner, I am not a bandwagon fan, I am a true fan. I can't help that I was brought up a team that others criticize whenever they get a chance. I am tired of defending myself to the "boys club" when it comes to talking sports.
For the record, as a baseball fan, I would have been quite happy had the Orioles won the ALCS. It has been 15 years since they have been in such a position and it would be exciting had they kept on going. Am I happy that the Yankees won? Obviously, but I would have also liked to have seen what the Orioles could have done. It was a good series and I am hoping we can do it again next year. It has been fun having a friendly competition with the O's fans in my life!
On to the ALDS! Go Yankees!
