Hey - 1918. Yes, that's usually used as a taunt against the Sox, but they have won one! Yankees didn't even go to the World Series until 1921 and didn't win until '23.

To suggest that Chuck and I would become Yankees fans? Harumph! I'd sooner switch party affiliation, move to Australia, and start working FIBA basketball!

What I can't understand is how a fine, upstanding young
Connecticutter (Connecticon? Connecticite?) like Mark ended
up being (I hope this gets through the censors) a Red Sox
fan? I mean, what gawd-fersaken, primitive, backwater part
of CT could he have grown up in? Must be close to the MA
border, like around Springfield. Yeah, I could understand
how someone from Springfield could be a Red Sox fan
(shudder), but someone from Connecticut? Boggles the mind...

First of all, the nickname for someone from CT is, well, I'm not going to say (Grrrrrrr)

I have the opposite mindset - how can someone live in Connecticut and actually LIKE the Yankees? Just FYI, I'm from Northeast CT (a.k.a. REAL Connecticut) - as far away from NYC as possible.

No....we could all celebrate France losing to freakin' Senegal in that sport where they're not allowed to use their hands. You know, the one where they play for 90 minutes and the final score is 1-0. Gee - that's exciting.

The only good part is that the entire nation of France is depressed. HAHAHA! Serves them right for rejecting Euro-Disneyland.

It not how many times you have been, its how many times you have won. Because this means you are better than the other team. I guess this means the Yankees are 25 times as good as the Bosox.

That's O.K. The Yankees won today 10-2 and it was REAL good for me.
