***Official Hate the Yankees thread****

[greenbriar]

Okay, so I am a Royals fan

but.......


the yankees suck


there needs to be some parody in Baseball

just because the skankees have the money, they can afford the big bats


I hope small payroll clubs dominate this year!

1. At least they never dubbed themselves "America's Team" like a certain football team& a baseball team

did.

[greenbriar]

2. they would have to call themselves the "rich america's team"

the rest of us think they suck

[El Supremo]

7. Why should they?

Since when was New York City part of America?

[TZ]

8. Hehehe

:rofl:

[Upton]

3. The only way you're going to get

anywhere close to parody is with a salary cap and I'm not sure if I like that idea...it's turned the NFL into a league of mediocrity.

BTW, I hate the Yankees too..

[El Supremo]

4. You're just mad because the Yanks beat the Royals again.

And so am I!

Except for 1985 this has been happening to Kansas City since 1955.

Parity? No. How about banishment?


Edited to correct horrendous spelling.

[radiclib]

5. Actually, there's lots of baseball parody

.."Major League", "Major League 2","Bull Durham"...:evilgrin:

[Chan790]

6. Silly...

every thread is a "Hate the Yankees" thread.

9. Tigers won 101 in 1961, and lost to the stinkin' Yankees by eight games.

The year I fell in love with baseball (fell out of love in the '90s). Tigers had Cash (.361, 44 homers and 132 RBI, and no, I didn't have to look that up), Kaline, Colavito, Bunning (repuke, but a great pitcher), Don Mossi, Terry Fox, Billy Bruton, and the Yankee Killer, Frank Lary, who went 24-9 (as I recall) and OWNED the Yankees his entire career.

He's long gone now (yes, I stole that line from George Kell, RIP), but Tater was special.

Course, the Yankees had those Maris-Mantle guys. Some guy named Whitey, and another named Yogi. What the hell; great baseball season.

10. BTW - their new stadium blows too.

An average of $75 per ticket.

For that amount I better get laid too.

[mduffy31]

13. Or at least a "friendly" handshake

[greenbriar]

11. god daymn

[greenbriar]

12. but we won

[flvegan]

14. The Rays get to kick the crap out of them this week!

w00t, good for the locals!

[Ganja Ninja]

15. They're our special guests for the AL pennant raising today.

How sweet it is!

[MaineDem]

16. Hee Hee, enjoy it!

There were our guests when we raised the World Series banner a few years ago. It was sweet.

17. Parody in baseball means an SNL skit...I assume you mean parity...

That said, I wholly endorse this thread and its sentiment.
