Damn Yankees
Well folks, it's that time of the year again, when we head into the baseball post-season and the Yankees try for another World Series. Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for the rich brat bully from high school. He's flush with cash, attitude, and an undeserved sense of superiority.
I root for three teams: Seattle, Boston, and whoever is playing the Yankees. Go Detroit! And if they can't pull it off, then I'll be rooting for Minnesota/Oakland to get it done.
Normally I would never say that the divine takes sides, but there's nothing in the Gospel about rooting for bullies.

Man. Now I love you even more!! I married a Mets fan, and I am a Red Sox fan--we have a No Yankees Allowed household...we took my little girl to see "Everyone's Hero" which is an animated movie about a kid who gets Babe Ruth's bat away from the bad guy...the kid's nickname is Yankee Irving. My daughter wanted me to call her that...I told her, sorry baby, I just can't...:)
The Yankees are the greatest?!? Bah, humbug. Steinbrenner is Satan.
Shaynapunam, I am quite pleased to hear you are married to a Mets fan. I am happy that they have reached the post-season. Hopefully they will do well, the Yanks will tank, and then the tri-state area will have a new team to root for, one that doesn't employ frickin' A-Rod and Mr. Steroids Lump Giambi.
