Short of Celebration

The cities of Atlanta and New York were treated to a less than celebratory Cinco de Mayo.

The sports fans of these cities may be drinking for all the wrong reasons.

Today both the Atlanta Hawks and the New York Yankees were humiliated.

The question is, which one was worse?

The answer seems easy: Atlanta Hawks.

Not only was the game of more importance. It's a PLAYOFF game.

It was a blowout. An embarrasing blowout in a game that was still relatively close at halftime. They COLLAPSED in the second half.

Working against the Yankees. It's only May, it was only a four point loss.

There needs to be rivalry points put in here, however.

There needs to be homefield advantage put into this.

There needs to be expectations invovled in this.

Everyone in their right mind knew Atlanta stood no chance against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Much less in Lebron's house.

The Yankees are different. There's no reason why they should now be 0-5 against the Boston Red Sox.

If you're team can't find it in themselves to step up against their biggest rivals there is cause for worry.

The fact is the Yankees are now 0-2 against the Red Sox in Yankee Stadium. That doesn't sound promising.

Being swept at home is heartbreaking. Being swept at home by the Red Sox?

Maybe those tequila shots can block it all out.
