7. Yep, have they Choked yet this year?
:evilgrin:
I remember in the really awful years when people would only go to the park to sunbathe, and sadly enough the attendence of Braves games hasn't improved much since then.

5. But you're also a Bills fan I see
You see when you chose sports team you chose to stay close to him(I presume you're living in New York State) and you balanced out the failure and heartache of following the Bills by rooting for the Yankees in the summertime. This way you'd never be completly in the dumps about your sports teams because while one has a tendecy to down than the other is up, creating balance in your sports fan soul.

That'll be $35 for the evaluation and set up your next appointment with my secretary as you leave.

11. Not exactly
I grew up in Rochester -- hence the fact that I am a Bills fan. Since we had no baseball team nearby (the Blue Jays were too new), I went with the Yankees since they were the only team televised locally -- it was pre-cable.

Also, most of my childhood was spent being miserable about BOTH teams. I still remember when the Yankees finished in last place, got the #1 draft pick, and wasted it on Brien Taylor.

In any event, the Bills are my true love -- and 26 more World Series by the Yankees will never be able to balance the failure and heartache of following the Bills. Only a Super Bowl will do that.

That said, I'd like a discount on the evaluation.

P.S. I live in DC now, so you're presumption was also off a bit.

8. I love watching the Yankees
I love watching them when they're winning and I love watching them when they are losing. They are always fascinating.

Plus it seems they have so many of "my" Mariners on the team these days, that it's like old home week, for me, a Seattleite.

I do have a Yankees cap.
