I can't believe I am saying this, but don't blame the Yankees for throwing the game. The BoSox had many chances to seal the deal and permanently take the number one spot. Shit, the Yanks even helped them stay ahead in the standings by beating the Rays in the previous series. The BoSox should have never allowed it to come to the final game of the season by losing 20 games this last month. It's not the Yankees responsibility to help the BoSox. 
Now I am going to go kill myself for defending the Yankees.

The only thing I kept thinking in the few minutes between Boston losing and Tampa winning was that Red Sox fans are actually rooting for the Yankees. Scary thought.I knew as soon as Joe brought in Proctor that he really didn't care about that game.

LMAO Gibson I was thinking about you when the D-backs unloaded on them yesterday. We'll see if the Brew Crew can bounce back this afternoon.
F-ck I thought for sure Burnett was going to blow it in the 1st, Granderson was the man both in CF and at the plate.
Hopefully, Yanks can continue momentum on Thurs. Part of me wishes they could have played game 5 today.

Congratulations Detroit.
Gotta love the classy haters, you know the ones that have no dog in the race yet are happy when a team fails.
Madcaps, where's your team? Did they even make the post season?
Dizwhatever, does San Jose even have a baseball team?

As for knocking people who don't even have a team. Don't you live 2500 miles from NYC?

I grew up in Manhattan and have been a Yankee & Ranger fan as long as I can remember. Is a person only allowed to root for a team as long as they live in a nearby zipcode?
I think not.

Team Owner
So Miami when they signed 2 guys that weren't max players, kept one of their stars under the max, started a point guard that they drafted, and stayed below the luxury tax that the champion exceeded by $20 million all compare to the Yankees spending? 
Sounds like smart business to me. Ask Forbes:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/sportsmo...ent-nba-teams/
6th most efficient franchise and nowhere near highest payroll.
I mean even Memphis, San Antonio, Atlanta, and Portland outspent us. I guess we're small market.
Maybe you're hating the wrong franchise?

The Yankees spent next to nothing last trade cycle. They limped along with other teams cast aways and did a hell of a job considering.

I think not.
Does a person who has NO team around not allowed to not route for any team or route against any team because of their zip code?
