Yet another reason the Yankees SUCK

Here is the difference b/w Yankees fans and Red Sox fans. If the shoe were on the other foot, Red Sox fans would be horribly embarassed and would completely disown such a crazed lunatic.

Yet at this very moment you can be sure that in several bars in the Bronx there are cheers and toasts being offered up to this "woman" (I use the term lightly since she shows no signs of being an actual human being).

Who knows why Yankees fans are such morons? I guess it must have something to do with the lack of success as a franchise, and the fact that a whole generation of little New Yorkers are growing up not knowing what it is like to have the Spankees win anything. Laughing

Anyway, I thought I would start a thread that was sure to fuel a lot of hatred and animosity and perhaps set a record for flaming. Very Happy

OMG ramblin'man, calm down. Rolling Eyes

Of course it was mostly tongue-in-cheek. Do you really think there are lifelong Red Sox fans who don't know that the Yankees have won a couple of World Series here and there??? Really?

But that's the entire point - they have been taunting us since the mid-1930's about how long it had been since we had won. So now that we are on a little roll and they can't get out of their own way, we are enjoying the karmic payback. As the expression goes, Yanks fans, don't dish it out if you can't take it. We've been taking up the rear for the better part of a century, so now it is your turn to suck it up, smile, and congratulate us on our success.

Which you are welcome to predict is fleeting. We can take it. Very Happy

And of course I am joking about the flaming wars. I expect a polite discourse from any and all posters (which means that bigpaulie should probably not post here Wink

). And Euros and non-baseball fans are not required to post here. They can have all the threads they want (Allez Lohème, Allez!). But we were clogging up an actual porn thread with RS/Y smack talk, so I thought it would be better to move it elsewhere and not hijack that poor guy's thread any more.

And finally, when that news story broke, it was like a politcal scandal where they announce that "Up next, Senator such-and-such from East Bumfuck was arrested today for bribery and yada yada yada," and you are desperately waiting until they get back from the commercial to find out if you are going to be elated or embarassed depending on which party they represent. When this story broke and they said it was the result of a RS/Y argument, I had a pit in my stomach, terrified that it might have been a RS fan. I shouldn't have been worried. I mean, why would a RS fan be homicidal when we are winning after an 86 year drought? Confused

OK, so to stir the pot a little...

I can't remember where I heard this (movie like Fever Pitch maybe?), but supposedly in the late 70's when the Yanks were horrible they set an alltime low attendence record with only 17 fans at a game in Yankee Stadium?

So there is yet another reason that the Yankees SUCK: RS fans persevered through generations of humiliating defeat but always supported the team. Yankees fans are all (except those 17 people) bandwagon jumpers. Laughing

1. crazy_chicken - I have no beef (uh, wait a minute...); ramblin'man had worried above that the international non-American members would be confused by this RS/Y thread.

2. ramblin'man - my birthday was 2 weeks ago. I am 12 now. Laughing

And why can't someone who is otherwise rational have a sports-related Mr. Hyde side? Smile

Believe me, to paraphrase Bruce Banner, you don't want to see me watching football. Embarassed

Red Sox, Schmed Sox. During football season I scare the neighbors. Laughing

I hope I did not offend with my whining. No offense was intended...except a little to people like the above poster...

3. paulie I wondered how long it would take. Rolling Eyes

What response could there be to blaming the victim of a vehicular homicide for his own death? Sigh.

If you boys can't play nicely I'm going to send you to your rooms.

All this fuss over a game of rounders.
