Just wanted to put this thread back at the top, what with our three-game sweep of Texas.

Leave it to the Yankees to misunderstand the concept of retiring a number! The best team money can buy…
Jinx:
The best team money can buy is still the best team. The Yankees are the best baseball team of the 1900’s, by results.
And don’t believe that just because a team has deep pockets that they’ll necessarily be a good team. Witness the $80 million payroll of the very pathetic Baltimore Orioles last year.

OY! < holding head > thank you for reminding me, John.
Cecil said it. I believe it. That settles it.
You know, down here in Georgia, we always figured Satan was a Yankees fan. Here’s hoping you and your team are reunited in the hereafter! 
–Love ya. Mean it.
I believe you mean the TWO-TIME DEFENBDING WORLD CHAMPION FRANCHISE OF THE MILLENNIUM NEW YORK YANKESS.
Get tyour terminology straight!
Q) What do Braves players dress up in on Halloween?
A) Nothing. The Braves never show up in October!
Yes, I made that up just now. If it becomes a cult classic, tell everyone Satan started it! 
Yer pal,

What kind of dumbass is a Columbia Football fan…
Ah yes, the Yanks, whatta team. Chris Chambliss, Lou Pinella, Craig Nettles, Micky Rivers. . .
Wait a minute, what decade is this?
He made that up. He’s never mentioned Columbia football in his life before that point. AFAIK, he’s a Penn State fan.
Which still makes him lame, but at least it’s not Michigan.

Ya know, you’re right. Every time the Red Sox built a new ballpark, they win the World Series!!
Why does everyone forget that Calvin Schiraldi had a two-run lead with two outs and two strikes in his favor, yet couldn’t get the job done? Granted, Buckner’s error let in the winning run, but the score was tied by then. An effective relief pitcher would never have let it reach that point.
From The Columbus Report:
"This is the most fanatical football city I've lived in, due mostly to the Ohio State University team. Their hated rival is the University of Michigan; the annual OSU-Michigan game is treated like a major war. In their last 10 tries, OSU has lost 8 times to Michigan (one game ended in a tie). I was born and raised in southeastern Michigan, where there have long been many choices between sports and teams, so the Ohio State game is a local media item for about a week up there. But here, they hate Michigan all year long. The primary Michigan color is blue. Fortunately, I've got blue return-address labels, a blue pick-up truck, plenty of blue jeans, and even a pair of blue cowboy boots. Hmmm, where are my blue ink pens?"
(Update: 9 OSU losses to Michigan in their last 12 tries.)
And let’s not forget, the new Columbus NHL franchise will be called the <FONT COLOR=“blue”>Blue Jackets</FONT COLOR=“blue”>.
