10 Reasons why I hate the Yankees.(post your thoughts)
10. Roger Clemens plays for them and Bucky !@%^$* Dent played for them.
9. They're a drug rehab center! (Strawberry, Steve Howe, Pascuel Perez, etc.)
8. The Yankees spent $92 Million (12 million more than anyone else!) to buy the World Series in '99.
7. After they lost the '76 World Series , the Yankees voted their batboys $100 shares. Their opponents, the Reds, gave theirs $6591 each.
6. In the spring after their '96 championship, the Yankees charged fans to have their pictures taken with the World Series trophy.
5. According to the Barnhardt Dictionary of Etymology the word Yankee was a term of contempt. Isn't that great? The Yankees named themselves after an insult! It's like calling a team the Atlanta Rednecks or the L.A. Cokeheads! Iron that on you wife-beater.
4. After Yankee home games, fans hang around and sing to the Sinatra song, "New York, New York" over and over until you pray the ghost of Sinatra himself will appear on DiamondVision screaming, "STOP!"
3. After every nauseating, soul-sucking Yankees victory, radio guy John Sterling bellows, "Yankees Win! Tha-a-a-a Yankees Win!" like a goat stuck on an electric fence. Hey John, Give it a-a-a-a rest!
2. Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Brad Pitt to get the girl or for Bill Gates to win the lotto. That's why I propose that those not born in 1 of the 5 New York boroughs must lose their pinstripes or be tossed into the East River with only Chuck Knoblauch to throw them a life preserver.
1. Hating the Yankees is a U.S tradition that's been honored throughout the century. Remember, no one ever wrote a play called "Damn Expos!"
