OK - I know this is a basketball board, but my post about Drake working a WNBA game turned into a Yankees vs. Red Sox thread with the first reply. So, since this is baseball season anyway, here's my list.

5. Pinstriped uniforms clash with plaid jockstraps

4. George Steinbrenner - 'nuff said

3. Most famous player had effeminate nickname of "The Babe"

2. George Will likes them

and the number 1 reason to hate the Yankees:

THEY'RE THE FREAKIN' YANKEES, FER CRIPESAKES!!!

Very cute,tuna breath!

"work..work..work..work..work"- Mel Brooks

Guys! Guys! Jealously is such a petty emotion. :D

George Will is a Cub fan.

Bob

for me you missed one of the most obvious ones...

THEY PLAY IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE!!!

Ban the DH, artificial turf and domed stadiums!!! Play baseball the way it was intended. National League kicks @$$!

YEA for the CUB fan. I guess there is two of us now!!!!!

AK ref SE

National League? What's that?

Oh, right, there needs to be someone to play against the AL champ in the World Series - might as well send in the winners of the LL World Series. :D

That's the league where they play real baseball. You know, you play the field and you hit, so you have to be careful who you plunk so a teammate doesn't have to take one you deserve. :cool:

Can you say Arizona Diamondbacks?

That would be the defending National League West Champions,

The defending National League Champions,

and the defending World Series Champions!

Oh, in case you forgot, they beat the Yankees!!!!!


(going for a double in the desert....)

Did they win the west last year??

I thought they were a WC team.
