Anyone else losing sleep because the recent play by the Yankees?

Last night, I was up until 2 AM, tossing and turning, over their loss to the Twins. Ditto three days ago when they lost to the Angels.

Know how some people count sheep when they can’t sleep? Well, I count by Yankees…using uniform numbers – either the current Yankee, retired number, or the last Yankee to wear that number…like this:

Billy Martin
Derek Jeter
Babe Ruth
Lou Gehrig
Joe DiMaggio
Joe Torre
Mickey Mantle
Yogi & Dickey
Roger Maris
Phil Rizzuto
Brett Gardner
Ivan Rodriguez
Alex Rodriguez
Wilson Betemit
Thurman Munson
Whitey Ford
Justin Christian
Johnny Damon
Chad Moeller……….etc.

Most times, I’m sleeping by Abreu or Matsui. But, even that didn’t work last night.

Man, I’m tired today. How about you?

    I run myself so ragged, I don’t have that problem. I managed to fall asleep during the Phils-Dodgers game on ESPN

    Honestly? I’ve stopped watching for now, the games aren’t enjoyable anymore. When they go into a funk like the past week or so, I usually just check the score on the computer every few innings, and then tune in towards the end if I’ve finished my to-do list.

    I haven’t lost sleep over a regular season game too often — however, ask me how much sleep I got after game 7 of the ‘04 ALCS. And I didn’t even finish watching that one!

    I watched the whole thing. Felt like I had to.
