Sounds like you are a Red Sox fan. Sorry to hear that. My condolences.
Nope...I'm a Braves fan. My AL team is the Mariners (see my avatar).
I just hate the Yankees and their win at all costs attitude. I love how the media trumps up how great of a manager Torre is. Believe me, with their lineup, I could be their DH and they'd still win 75% of their games. Just love the payroll that's quickly approaching $150 million.

George Steinbrenner is what's wrong with this game (well him and Tom Hicks of the Rangers). I know his fans love him b/c he spends his money to put a winning product on the field, but it's very annoying to see almost every high profile free agent go to the Yanks. Who do they have that came up through their farm teams? Let's see - Bernie, Jeter, Soriano (who they signed away from the Padres), Posada, Pettitte and Rivera. A great core, but to go out and pay Giambi, Clemens, Ventura, Weaver, Acevedo and Zeile what they do and OVERPAY Matsui and Contrereas, it's just ridiculous. George's philosophy is rape and pillage other team's rosters. It's ridiculous.
It takes no guts nowadays to be a Yankee fan. In the 80's it took guts, now it does NOT.
