Top 5 Reasons to Hate the Yankees...And Rebuttal
I get it. Not everyone shares my love for the Yankees. I do understand it, but perhaps I can change your mind.
Reason #1 - Their radio announcers John Stirling and Susyan Waldman suck. Stirling says things like, "There are two outs and if the Yankees get one more out, they'll be out of the inning."
He also says, "There's an A-Bomb from A-Rod," or "Nick Swisher hits a home run. That's Swishalicious!"
Rebuttal #1- I got nothing - they suck.
Reason #2 - They have all the money. It isn't fair.
Rebuttal#2 - Quick, think of it. Do you have a neighbor who is less fortunate than you? Did you ever think of giving him your television because the one he has just doesn't measure up?
Do you like another sports team who's owner won't spend money? Don't you hate him because of that? You can't have it both ways.
And the 1.8 billion spent since the Yanks last won a World Series? How much did they make in that time? 2.2 billion?
Isn't that less than the Cubs spent since they last won theirs? Didn't the Red Sucks spend a ton of money to break the curse?
Reason#3 - Derek Jeter is held in too high of regard.
Rebuttal#3 - Ridiculous. Good man, great player, Minka Kelly. Leave my boy alone.
Reason#4 - Obnoxious Yankee fans make it impossible to like the Yankees.
Rebuttal#4 - Isn't that great? I love ending every baseball argument by chanting "Twenty-six, twenty-six, twenty-six."
Maybe next year I'll be chanting twenty-seven, twenty-seven, twenty-seven."
And we teach our kids to do it too!
Reason #5 - The Legends, the Ghosts, the Holier-than-Thou Attitude, A-Rod, Steinbrenner, Reggie, Ruth, Mantle, Kate Hudson, Spike Lee, Rudy Guiliani, and all the freaking patting themselves on the back they do.
Rebuttal#5 - Really? You want a guy like me, who writes a blog every day, who writes books for fun, who the kids call an attention-whore, to get down on the Yankees because they seek to shine the spotlight over their own heads?
It's New York, baby, everything is bigger there. The Yankees have been hated since Babe Ruth ate his first three hot dogs during the 4th inning. It will always be that way and baseball needs the hate to flourish.
So, keep hating. The Yanks will keep winning, and those of us who call ourselves fans will continue to piss you off.
Last night, AN A-BOMB FROM A-ROD runied a lot of nights.
It made a lot of people smile too.
