I really do like what you said about hating the Yankees! I hate them too!!! But, I am very sad today because my Astros lost last night. I think it would have been beautiful to see both of the underdogs in the World Series, but that’s the way it goes.

Also, I think that I need to copy your dissertation on hating something or someone vs. hatin’ and put it on my board! These high school children need education on that topic that only you could give so eloquently. Keep up the good work!

Speaking of high school children, I guess I better get back to work. :(

I too was in a bar with my department watching Game 7 last night and was surrounded by a bunch of fools screaming for Boston. And you wanna know what? Not a one of em was from Boston. Few had even visited the place. All this Yankee animosity amuses me. A team is a team is a team. I’m from NY and have loved the Yankees since I was 7 years old. I screamed for Ricky Henderson and Ron Guidry the same way I scream for Mariano. I loved them when they lost, when they won and when they couldn’t even make it to 2nd place. It’s where I’m from. I never knew that they got all THIS attention till I left New York. New Yorkers like the Yankees (or the Mets if you’re from Queens and strange), people from Atlanta like the Braves and some people from Montreal like the Expos. Sure they win a lot, sure they spend a lot of money to do it, but would it be better to be poor and lose? I may be a socialist when it comes to politics but when it comes to sports, I want my team to win and if capitalism is gonna get us there, so be it. So watch your own team and cheer for them but band wagon bullshit is just that. Bullshit. You’re just contributing to the attention that they get. You people slay me.

awite, I was pulling for the Red Sox because Americans love the underdog. I know that’s a litle trite, but it’s the truth. And yes, the Yankees sucked for the majority of my soon-to-be 26 years until Steinbrenner and Lakers owner Jerry Buss and Jerry Jones all cast their lot with ol’ “superagent” Louis C. Effers, esq.

Addictions, eh? Well you know what Greg Nice said “Too much of anything makes you an addict.” But you’re right, I’d rather be addicted to October baseball and March college basketball rather than being addicted to something that has me stealing car antennaes and performing illicit acts just to get on the “Enterprise.”
And also, McCants, “Jail”..I shole hope that nobody took him seriously. Rule No. 587: NEVER take comments made by athletes and entertainers too seriously. (Ex: R-Kelly saying only bin Laden understands him). They get paid to do something other than THINK. If they were, wouldn’t they be owning more teams or having their own megacompanies a la Universal ‘nem?
