We stay angry at Grady Little, we're happy the Yanks lost, we start thinking a little bit about the future.

Grady Little gone.
But clubhouse needs makeover.
Trade Manny for Vlad.

You know for yourselves the pain

Yanks fizzle, led by Jeter.
Money can't buy rings.
Little: afterthought.

Yanks squished by the Fish
A surprise for the ages
A smile to my face

"I felt just a little bit better on Saturday night. It might be a bit of schadenfreude, but at least Yankee fans know a fraction of our pain!"

Die hard Red Sox fan
At least the Yanks lost in six
Next year without Little?

Why, Grady? Why did
You not go to Embree one
Batter earlier?

Dusty and Grady.
Two men who don't know that a

Pedro cruising but
Babe awakes and punishes
For ass-pitch comment.

Twin curses of Cubs
And Sox still alive after

"Didn't know you had a website until I saw it mentioned in Sports Illustrated. Below are several I composed in the aftermath of Game 7."

To be a Sox fan
There are few happy moments
'cept when Yankees lose.

Boston lost again.
A yearly phenomenon.
Cubs fans can relate.

Could Burkett play for Red Sox?

Grady's not to blame
Best hitters but no bullpen
Theo's got some work
