|  Ok, but I hate them just the same! Cool to have a Northeast series though.

| What I like about the Yankees? They beat the crap out of the Soxs at regular intervals. Never paid any attention to the AL until the interleague play started and those asswipes from Boston started showing up in Phila acting like they invented baseball. They really are pricks. Yankees Fans never do that. Yanks Fans show up and start commenting on a slider missing or the changeup hanging or whatever. They know the game. Same with the Orioles types. Only the Soxs are truely obnoxious (not counting NL teams in here, that's different, especially in the division-they're supposed to be that way). Can't stand them. That's why the Yankees are my favorite AL team. They slap the Sox around like Red Headed stepkids. It's fun to watch. Looks like the Yankees and Dodgers are favored. I hope the Phils take the Dodgers. They have to take at least one out in LA to have a good chance of winning the series. If the Dodgers take both in LA, it's going to be really tough to sweep them in Phila. As much as I hate to say it, a lot depends on Manny. If he's having a good series, it's going to be tough on the Phils. As for the AL, my money is on the Yankees. Would love to see the Phils and Yanks go at it. That would be OUTSTANDING! |

Note-I spoke in the present tense, not the past. The New York Yankees have a proud tradition of excellence. They once represented all that was great about American Sport. Now they only represent an overgrown pre-adolescent jack-ass trying to buy a pennant every year. I love the Yankees, but I love the game of Baseball more; and Steinbrenner and company are bad for the game. | |

Yankees are one of the class organizations in pro sports. "Buying championships" is a myth. If that was the case the Yanks would win the Series every year, since their payroll is the highest every year. And they haven't won a championship since 2000. Money does make you a contender every year, but championships are won by superior pitching in three short series. Steinbrenner hasn't been involved for a number of years now (sons are in charge). But I've got no problem with an owner that wants to win. TO

| Friggin' nasty weather in Pa right now. Rainy, temps in the 50s, horrible for Baseball. Lucky for everyone the series is starting in LA today. But if this weather holds until they get out here, the Dodgers are going to have to deal with 40/50F weather and rain. It sucks out there right now, even for someone who lives in Pa. Anyway, games start in another 2.5 hours. GO PHILS! |
