1. Shit, The Skankees Preseason Extends Into August
Remember the "little teams" season is early. After that, things change a bit.

4. you think we should be criticized
when you constantly refer to fans of a baseball team as Satanic followers. You are the problem with the current state of this rivalry. Assuming good and evil references for followers of a baseball teams. Its ludicrous. And by the way, the until the other day the Red Sox had the highest payroll of any team to win a World Series. So they must have bought that one.

11. Jeebus, Davey, boy! Trying to blame someone else for the highest payroll,
when YOU have admitted the $kankee$ have had the highest payroll for the last 30 years.

Really fucking lame, davey.

9. Absolutely not
But then that team would not have won the series with a leveraged buy out of the free agent market.

12. I don't care who criticizes.
All teams are fair game.
And, NY is still the 2009 World Series Champion. :bounce: :bounce:

17. Not To Me
I find the Cowboys the most loathesome franchise in America. Even the Yankees are preferrable.

20. The Yankees have better uniforms too
Except for the grey road jersey but the white pin strips are nice.

23. Rockies usually wear white pinstrips at home
However with the combination of road jerseys they have the best uniforms in baseball.

When it comes to the Cowboys it's very plain, I like the blue jerseys but they rarely wear those.

22. The yankees epitomize the Republican party. KKKarl Rove would
be proud of $teinbrenner and $elig.
