My Yankees Won Wimbledon In 2009??

I will start by congratulating both the Yankees for another win this afternoon. Even if the brooms don't come out and sweep the Toronto Blue Jays right out of the Bronx, another series is already won. 

Come on, anyone who lives in the universe knows that the Yanks are about to add a nation to their list. If you don't get what I am talking about here ya go....…The $&#*$ Boston Red Sox won today as well but the boys in pinstripes have closed the AL race to just a game separating the two rivals. 

The bigger sports event today (can you imagine there is one....…LOL!) Was the men's singles at Wimbledon final match between Andy Roddick and Roger Federer? Congratulations to Roger for winning this tough opponent and winning his 5th Wimbledon title but also becoming the player to have won the most grand slams in history, this was #15 for him.

Poor Pete Sampras watched his record be broken. Sampras was my absolute favorite tennis player ever and I miss him playing dearly. Tennis was classier when it was Pete, Ivan, Jimmy and Mac. I did fall in love alongside the whole world with our beloved Andre Agassi. This champion's farewell speech at the US Open is a link in one of my past posts and it is so inspiring and humbling. 

The final today was all class. I love Roger and Andy alike and they keep the sport old school. "Respecting the game" in all sports are scarily working its way out. With all the rain in the Northeast to have everyone at my parents beach house was watching, pacing and screaming along with each point on the third gorgeous day we have had should be say enough.

How does this match compare to Red Sox/Yankees rivalry? Huge example is who's heart did not go out to Andy Roddick just a few hours ago. This guy has been in four championship appearances at Wimbledon, even more is that he lost all of them to Federer. 

I have faith that Roddick will have his name on the cup as a grass court champion before his career is over and he still has some time. 

I guess Andy can relate to the Red Sox up until 2006 and in the same regard the Yanks are the Federer's of baseball, still 26 is not going to be caught anytime soon.

The difference with this 2009 Yankees team are finally acting like Federer by being a classy team again. The last few years it was not their at all. 

Hey I live and die for my Yankees but a fact is a fact and that my friend, was what the Yankees had transformed into actuality. Times have changes as it's not happening in 2009, and not the Yanks anymore. Tough is being kind to how much work it is going to take. I hope I can even bare to watch.

I sure fantasize about winning the world series again because I am proud of the Yankees team camaraderie, that is why not one person I watched the tennis with was mad that Federer won. How could you unless you had some personal issue with Roger? 

Federer is the Mariano of graciousness when defeated and gives his sincere credit to any opponent no matter the outcome. I can say that the Yankees finally are comparable to Roger again and who would not want to be. He deserves to be the greatest as did Pete Sampras who's record of 14 grand slams he broke today.
