1. Seatlle had the best record in 2001
But they are habitual October losers, so nobody will ever rememebr what they did that season.

13. We don't all hate the Yankees.
I'm sort of indifferent. They're just the best at exploiting baseball's current economic model.

7. I just spent a week staying with friends
who are MAJOR Yankees fans (both are from the Bronx).

They don't miss a game. It was fun.

I can tune out the Rockies for a month and not miss anything.

:sigh:

5. Died in the wool..................
Yankee fan here as well, from the mid '50s on. Yes, we do take a lot of bashing around here, but remember, if you're not the lead dog, the view is always the same. I almost feel sorry for the Red Sox fans, year after year having their hopes dashed against the rocks by the boys in the Bronx. Notice I said "almost". Go Yanks!

9. Watch for the "October Surprise". The 85 year drought will end in 03.
Yanks will take the east, Sox, the wild card. Both teams will meet in the ALCS. Sox will take it in 5, then go on to defeat Atlanta in 7.
This is the year for my Sox!
Fuck that overrated drunk, Ruth!

12.  And the cryogenically preserved ghost of Ted Williams
Will walk out to the mound at Yank-Me Stadium, holding his head in his hand and say, "Fuck you Babe Ruth and your fucking curse!"

18. A quote I read recently:
"Wondering if the Yankees are going to make it into the postseason is like wondering if the 16-year-old dude is gonna score with the hooker he takes to the prom. Dude, you paid for it - of course you're gonna score!"

while the good is oft interred with their moans."
