Any Yankee Haters......

The O's lost 2 of 3 to that "scrub" Oakland team BTW. I understand its a soft schedule, but 8 in a row is 8 in row, which they really had to do to get back in this thing. There's a long way to go in the season. All I care is they make the playoffs, which seemed a distant thought a week ago and I don't see as many Yankee hater yuking it up now.

Yeah they lost 2 to Oak in Oakland, then took 2 of 3 off the Yankees in their own house. You are talking about 8 wins off the bottom 2 teams in maybe the worst division in MLB(most of them at home). Yeah I know it is not even 1/4 the way though but 2nd place in the AL east may not be enough to get into the playoffs this year. And frankly I am quite happy with a 5 1/2 game lead and 5 out of 6 wins over the Spankees.

The yankees pitching will doom them in the end because they have to rely on aging arms to hold strong down the stretch. Johnson is no longer intimidating and has been very hittable, Kevin Brown is a shell of his former self, and the past year or so with Mussina u never know what u r gonna get. Plus the crutch of the yankees pitching staff, Rivera, has blown save after save against the yankees most hated foe. And with nothing even close to resembling a farm team, Steinbrenner will have a hard time buying plugs to fill the leaking boat known as the Yankees. The Yankees just don't come close to resembling the team a decade ago that was on an annual basis pretty much destroying everyone that came before them, including my Padres in the 98 world series. The Yankees will once again be on top cuz the boss and selig will do everything in their power to keep their goliath up and ready for the next david to come along and give it a go.

I just think it's disgusting that they basically have an all-star team for their normal team. I also have an issue with the Yankees because people will be fans of them because it's the "cool" thing to do (it seems). Like I gave some shit to this student the other day about him wearing a Yankees hat and he's like, "I don't really know anyone on the team, I just know it's who I SHOULD like."

I was appalled.

I understand all the hating. All my friends hate on me for being a Yankee fan.

Malcolm, I know what u mean about these fake-ass Yankee fans. They just wear the hat because they saw Jay-Z wear it in a video.

I'm not gonna sit here and argue with all of you about the Yankees. All I'm gonna say is lets wait till October to start talking all this trash. If the Yanks are in the playoffs......be careful. Thats all I'm saying.

You took the words from my mouth. A LOT of people like them just because of their "Neon Green" hats and off-color jerseys. If there weren't all of these fake fans, I wouldn't hate them nearly as much. It's like the fake people are STILL as passionate about the team yet don't know anything about it.

I know exactly what you're talking about. It's very annoying.

Funny thing is, is that they're alot of "Cowboy" fans that are just like that!

I'll say my theory again on Cowboys fans. It seems like a lot of them (around here anyway) think that by "liking" the Cowboys they are in fact, Cowboys themselves. And being the true necks that live around here, I can see their logic. Most of them feel like the Cowboys are the teams that white trash rednecks should like.
