3. That's Cool.
Right? I mean, I'm not sure how to react to this. Is this something I'm supposed to say 'wow! Go yankees!"? or something to say "I don't believe those damn yankees"? LOL

Not sure what I'm supposed to think.

Ahhhhhh, fuck it. Fuck the Yankees. Let's Go Bluejays!

4. As I get older the more I like baseball
Franchises are going to be worth more and the dreaded Yankees are the biggest franchise.

10. I agree with you 100%, mac56...
Let them spend all the money they want...they still suck.

(Ok, I'm waiting to hear the typical Yankees'fan rebutal, "Oh yeah? Then how come The Yankees have won 26 World Championships? How many has your team won? Na na na na na na..."

12. And they are "owned" on the field by the LA Angels!
The Angels are 50-49 against the Yankees since 1996, the year Joe Torre came on board as manager. None of the other 29 teams in MLB can boast of a winning record against those Yankees teams.

Since 1997, the Angels have been the only team to knock New York out of the postseason short of the ALCS. They did it twice: in 2002, on their way to the World Series, and last October at Angel Stadium.

Go Halos! O8)
