Not like Yankee fans scattered every where else across the globe; those fans have the sporting sense of canned heat. They cheer for the Yankees because they've already won 27 championships, not because they are baseball fans. Its like cheering for Bill Gates to win the publishers clearing house or hoping Justin Bieber can meet a hot girl. These "fans" need to be slapped for jumping on the band wagon. Any real fan knows that the Yankees stand against all things sacred in sports.
And it seems lately that Yankee fans are somewhat discouraged. The Yankees don't have a pitching staff that can hang with the Red Sox and they're not the favorite to win it this year. I almost started feeling sympathetic for them and I thought, "it's OK, they're gonna get Felix Hernandez from Seattle, you're gonna be OK." (sorry Mariner fans but you heard it here first).
I should have slapped my self immediately; pity for the Yankees?... the Yankees are EVIL. They exist to be hated. They will pay an endless number of dollars every year to win the championship.
The real shame of the Yankees is that they don't win it every year. They fired Torre because he lost the 1st round of the playoffs, 4 years in a row. The next year under Girardi they didn't even make the playoffs. Come on man, I could have managed them to the playoffs, seriously with all that talent and money I could manage the Yankees and they would make the playoffs today. I wager that George W. Bush could even manage the Yankees into the playoffs or even, Steven Hawking could be wheeled in and lead the Yankees to the playoffs while speaking through his computer. They should have moved the whole team to Albany for not making the playoffs, New Yorkers deserve better than that. NOT.
Of the many things that make the Yanks so evil is that legitimate teams scout players; they invest millions, they pour time, blood and sweat to make them great. Then the second they become free agents, here come the Yankees. They come blowing their noses with million dollar bills, clean hair cuts and a fresh shave...why so clean-cut you ask? Because that's the way the devil likes them to be.
Remember when Johnny Damon sold his soul? I can still see him sitting in that chair with the cameras rolling as the barber went to town shearing his glorious locks of hair, just like Samson in the hands of Delilah. The devil took his soul that day and it was all captured on camera as one of the most disturbing moments in baseball. I can still see the look on his face... it was as if you could hear the 30 pieces of silver falling to the ground as he realized it was too late, he was officially Yankee, a mercenary, and all things good about Johnny Damon have blown with the wind.
If you look hard you can see that same look in the eyes of Texeira, and A Rod; they look just like Robert the Bruce in Braveheart; you know that scene after William Wallace rips off his helmet to see he's been betrayed. The Yankees will offer players the world but the cost of wearing those pinstripes can cost a man far more than his pride.
A Rod, Tex, if you're reading this there is still dignity to be salvaged, you could pull a Randy Johnson and run. Never look back, just keep running. You could find yourself in a city where baseball dignity is restored and love for the game reigns supreme, a place like Minnesota. A Rod, put the walkman down and stop listening to Madonna tapes, I've got some Purple Rain you need to hear.
With 22 days left until opening day lets all recognize where our allegiance lies. We have not forgotten who the bad guys are... we will all HATE the Yankees.
