The Yanks took the weekend series from cross-country foe Seattle, finally getting some payback for being knocked out of the playoffs by them in 1995. It was a long time coming, and while most of the roster hadn't been born in 1995, historical memories die hard around this team.
The Bad
The middle game against King Felix Hernandez was frustrating. The Yankees were completely dominated by Hernandez, only to find out after the game that his patents of nobility had been forged and that he wasn't actually royalty. Immigration officials are said to be investigating and the U.N. has revoked King Felix's diplomatic status. More on this as it develops.
The Ugly
After the Yankees took the series, and revenge, team spokesman Curtis Granderson spoke to members of the media about his new favorite movie.
"Have any of you seen that movie with the picaninny surrounded by wild animals who says black things like 'I'm da man'? $#%& you white America."

I like Granderson's comments. They add spice to the team. Wait, was that racist? He really makes me think.
Granderson makes us all think . . . at least when he's not being a white supremacist.
