They are supposed to win the World Series every year, right? Actually all they do is spoil the post-season for some other long deserving team. Wouldn’t baseball be so much better without the Yankees?

I hear ya **cc**. I have to laugh now (silently of course) at all of my Yankee friends who just about buried me 6 feet under when they won game 7.

Now who’s saying, “Wait till next year?”

Yeah, but when Yankees fans say “Wait till next year” it actually means wait till next year. When a Red Sox fan says wait till next year, it means wait for another 80 some years.

^ haha, ok, you have a point… 😃 😃

But it still makes me feel a _little_ bit better to know that they didn’t win. It shuts my roomie up!

C’mon! The Yankees are Goliath! Without Goliath, we can have no Davids to root for! We cannot revel in the sweet victory when the rock strikes Derek Jeter square in the forehead and sends him to the ground and wipes that disgusting smirk of the rest of their Yankee faces!

Well, some kind of distinction, anyway.

Man, fucking losers can’t even _lose_ right. Who are we kidding?
