Any Yankee fans out there

They are the best team, and they buy their way in.  Yankee mystique is long dead.  It's Yankee money that wins championships.  Most teams do to some extent, but the Yankees have an overwhelming advantage. 

How is that different from the past? The number of dollars is growing, but teams that were willing to spend money have always won.

That dictionary must have been printed in Boston!

Nah. Chicago prints stuff. http://www.rrdonnelley.com/wwwRRD1/AboutUs/AboutUs.asp Notice the address on Wacker Drive in Chicago. This is the largest printing firm in the world, and got to be that due to the proximity to Wisconsin's paper mills, the railroad, port and O'Hare airport facilities which make shipping their product easier than it would be almost anywhere else, and the work ethic of most of us in the Midwest, which I'll brag about even though I'm typing all these posts at work.

Like Mariano Rivera would ever lead a  "Red Sox Suck cheer

Maybe "Who's Your Daddy" conveniently forgetting how ignominiously the Yankees lost Game 7 over that very shout in 2003.
 
I've worn Green and Gold in Soldier Field and got a lot of vocal abuse, but no physical abuse whatever, from the Oompa Loompas.

No doubt the Yankees are a great team.  But they should be with the payroll they have. Same old same old.  Yankees bought Sabathia from the Brewers. 

Funny you should mention the Brewers, especially given the etymology of the word "cheesehead"

I agree but don't find them as obnoxious as what happens when the Dallas Cowboys get on a roll. I've been ticked off at them since they anointed themselves "America's Team". Now that they play in Jerky Jones' Cathedral to Greed, I find them the easiest team to root against on the planet.

They were America's Team when Roger Staubach played for them after serving in Viet Nam as a Navy Supply Officer.
 
They can have it. I went to a Green Bay bar in JAPAN!

Which one?  1907 or 1908?

How about 1906, when the Cubs posted the BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL HISTORY, only to get walloped by the White Sox in the Series? We [the Cubs] still won more games than any team in any professional sport!

You go ahead and enjoy Ruth and Gehrig.  That 1907 Cubs team had legends such as Heinie Zimmerman and Orval Overall (not kidding).

And the Saddest of All Possible Words.

Now THAT'S the sort of class Yankee fans epitomize!

"sore-winning"????????? A little sore and horse from the celebration parties?????

The word is "hoarse". I do it, too, but I don't claim to be anything except Big and Ugly. I'm certainly no bard.

Kind of like my fav the Cleveland Indians winning an American League record, IIRC, 111 games in 1954 and getting beat 4 straight in the World Series to the New York Giants. I'm old enough to remember that year intimately. I wasn't around in 1906.

BTW, both those winning seasons, 1906 and 1954, were done in a 154 game season not the current 162.

I think you got that about right!
