I can't tell a lie

I'm fucking nervous for game 1 tonight. Its been years since the Yankees have faced C.C and the guy is a much better pitcher now then he was then. He is a lefty. That alone scares me. Throw all those numbers we have against C.C out the window. All the wonderful numbers that were produced during the regular season mean zero now. The players know this. Basically we start a new season tonight. It becomes what have you done for me lately. I've sailed with this ship through the rough seas and I won't bail now or even (god forbid) we do happen to catch an L tonight. I watched the Yankees win game 1 last year and 3 games later the season was over. It's like I said yesterday every pitch every inning, every game matters. 1 good game will not get you into the ALCS. It takes 3. Win 3 before you lose 3 and move on. Wang needs to bring his A game. If he does I won't be nervous at all and I feel we can't be beat tonight. If we can score 4 runs this evening I think that might be enough. 5 runs and I'm sure that will be enough. Normally you can tell with Wang early if he has it. Hopefully tonight he will be on. He has big game experience, he has been here before. Get the ball to JOBA for the 8th and Mo for the 9th. Win the first 7 innings maybe even 6 if you want to go to JOBA for 2 and I'll sign right up for that. The mission, the dream, the journey starts TONIGHT!
