I've said it once and I'll say it again. I have no problems with the "actually" Yankees such as A-rod, Jeter, etc. because they're great players and as a baseball fan I even respect the history of the team (last year I even flew all the way across the country to N.Y. to watch a Yankee/Red Sox game). However, it is (look no contraction e30) the fans and the owners that I can't stand. Between trying to buy championships and fans' sense of entitlement is what makes me a Yankee hater.

Note to all Yankee fans, please get over the fact that people hate your team, that's sports, deal with it.

Feeling guilty?

Really? no rise out of you at all I see.

You have detailed files upon which to base my mind set so I accept your judgment as to what is normal behavior for me, what is your suggested course of action?

You have said you hate the Yankees, you say they buy their wins, A-Rod has the richest contract in baseball he was "bought" (as opposed to all the other teams whose players play for gum)

I am glad to hear you respect them, they have an amazing history and the money they pump into the city is huge.

As far as the criminal aspect of this case I am sure she will do very little if any time.

As far at the 450k (assuming that is what he made) compared to A-Rod it is small but he is doing all kinds of endorsements (Sharp for example) so I am sure he is fine and can get Mom the best lawyer.

Feeling guilty? About what? The only one that should be feeling guilty is one of your pitchers moms. Sorry I had too, for old times sake.

Sorry, you don't get a rise out of me anymore. Arguing with you kind of lost its luster.

I never said they buy their wins, just the players that give them a better chance of winning. But if that's the case, than there's something really fishy going on and MLB needs to take up an investigation . Also, A-rod was bought, all players are bought, assuming they're paying him dollars and not peanuts. And if any player is playing for gum, that better be some damn good gum and props to the owners for getting the business deal of the millennia.

My point is all teams pay players money, not gum or fish sticks. All players are bought.

Feeling guilty was responding to your is this directed at me question.

Is it wrong for me to assume that all of your "Yankee Hater" remarks are directed towards me? Anyways, even if they're not, I'll gladly represent all Yankee Haters in any of your remarks, no problem.

I guess I should have put my last post in red text, since it's obvious that the sarcasm wasn't picked up.

e30cabrio, maybe you should ask the Yankees to buy you a sense of humor because you seem a little uptight.

Firstoff I have a great sense of humor, second posting the numerous videos & links I posted was humorous (although apparently lost on you). Finally I was not ascribing all Yankee hater blame on anyone and the Joba piece was an attempt at more humor.

I hate off days, I also hate the late start & daylight savings making the start seem later.

Yankees in 24 hours!!!!!!!

I can tell you're a funny guy.

Yea because posting links to people's moms going to jail is real humorous, sorry but your sense of humor failed you there.

For someone that hates the word hate, you sure do use it a lot.

I think Elephants working for peanuts is a stereotype because everytime I go to the zoo they seem to be eating plants and fruits, but then again I never been to the Bronx zoo.

The humor was not the story it was the fact that it was a negative item about a Yankee posted BY a Yankee fan, try to keep up

They feed Yankee haters to the elephants @ the Bronx Zoo.

For someone that is so sensitive you waste a lot of tomatoes

Lol I agree. Same concept as people saying they hate the Cowboys just cus they dominated in the early 90s.

Btw I DO hate Manchester United

Well, with everything going on with Hamels comments (selfish bastard, btw) focus is going to be down with the Phils.

Let's hope they can put that aside, especially Howard. I mean, JEEZ, is it that impossible to lay off a slider??? One you KNOW they're throwing...

Guess I better stay away from the fat chicks at the Bronx zoo.

Who said I was sensitive? What the hell does sensitivity and tomatoes have to do with anything?




Ok, I got it out of my system and now I'm done wasting tomatoes.

I do hate the Cowboys (the Yankees of the NFL), but that's because I'm a Niner fan.

But other teams don't go over the salary cap like the Yankees do, every year. (I think their payroll has increased every year recently? not sure)

Put me down as a Yankee's hater for that reason.

They are giving Hamels a really hard time about that, huh.

I really think he meant he just wanted his rough season to end. In other words, he wished he could stop pitching like crap. I don't think he meant he is tired of playing baseball or didn't care about winning.

I feel the need to mention that the Yankees payroll being so high has taxes & subsidiaries that go to teams that have less $. So in reality the Yankees high payroll helps other teams buy players so they can compete.
I would think some thanks would be in order.

Closers- Not getting the job done. Giving up 2 out saves? yikes!

I think the Yankees have a great shot. CC is being his normal self and pitching well. ARod is learning to be comfortable, hoping he keeps it up. AJ will need to settle down a little bit, and Pettitte, well he is a postseason gem. I think we will have a good series with the Halos and come out on top.

I don't think the dodgers will make it, not enough pitching IMO.

Yankees Phillie world series. Yankees in 6
