I just read this post from Yahoo.
Wow. Another New York fan with a forum.
We’re gonna win the World Series.
Why?
Because CC is skinnier.
Because Derek Jeter has a new contract the the team didn’t want to give him.
Because we have great prospects.
BECAUSE WE ALWAYS WIN THE WORLD SERIES!
Even when we don’t.
It’s like this: I don’t hate the Green Bay Packers Organization, nor do I hate the Universities of Wisconsin and Iowa. And I don’t hate the New York Yankees Professional Baseball Club.
I hate their obnoxious, self-entitled, condescending, holier-than-thou, make-me-want-to-urinate-on-their-dog fans. These idiots think they follow the Greatest Team In The History Of Competition and because of that, they are the Chosen People. God’s favorites.
I hope they get smited.
This is a message to all you front-running New York Yankee fans: YOU’RE TEAM ISN’T VERY GOOD!
Your starting rotation is at best two men deep, and for cryin’ out loud, your fourth and fifth starters might be Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon.
BARTOLO COLON?
Seriously?
What, was Sid Fernandez not available?
Your bullpen is led by a guy who may well be the best closer ever , but the guy is so old he actually pitched for the New Amsterdam Yankees (Shut up. I know they were the New York Highlanders. It’s called artistic license you morons).
Then what? Joba Chamberlain is a head case who gets mentioned in every trade rumor the Yankees are connected to, which means every trade rumor ever. They want to dump him for a reason.
You guys signed what’s his name from the Rays. Congratulations. Even your GM thought that was a dumb move.
Some say you have the greatest hitting infield of all time. Ok, but Derek Jeter is not 27 anymore ( ). A-Rod and Teixeira are good for at least one trip, and probably two, to the DL. Each. Robinson Cano can’t turn the double play. Your outfield is MLB average. Granderson, Gardner and Swisher are ok, but they aren’t going to remind anybody of Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris.
Hell they won’t even remind people of Bernie Williams and Paul O’Neill. Your DH is old. Your bench is suspect.
Yes, you’ll try to make a trade or two in-season, but there’s nothing in your farm system that’s going to pry Francisco Liriano from the Twins or Felix Hernandez from the Mariners.
You play in a division that’s at least as strong as it usually is. To be sure, the Rays have taken a step back, but the Orioles and the Blue Jays both had very good off-seasons and are going to be pretty competitive. And, in my opinion, the Boston Red Sox are the favorites in the AL this year.
But none of this matters to you blathering, myopic, pinstriped lemmings. You, the deacons of the First Church of Steinbrenner, insist on filling the airwaves, the blogosphere, and ESPN with your ridiculous crap.
You sound like a bunch of idiots.
Which you are.
You’re in for a strong dose of reality this year.
Did I mention A.J. Burnett?
This is going to be fun to watch.
Wow. This may be the best Yankees post of the year. Decade. Century.
This is a great post!
Kind of funny Yankee joke:
Albert Einstein is at a party and asks one of the guests, “What is your IQ”
“165”
“Great, we can talk about nuclear physics and cosmology”
After a few minutes of lively discourse, another party guest tries to get in on the conversation.
Einstein asks him, “What is your IQ”
“64”
To which Einstein replies: “GO YANKEES!”
