It's been a while since I last wrote on this blog or is it in this blog. Ah who cares. I am actually pretty happy right now I am listening to the yankees online and they are smashing the seattle mariners. I haven't written in a while because I haven't been able to think of anything to write about. But as I sit here and listen to the yankees broadcast I want to talk about the redsox and the yankees.
People always ask me why do you like the yankees. Well all I can say is that I chose the Yankees as my favorite team when I was younger and I have stuck by my team. Then people ask well how did you come about choosing them aren't you from Massachusetts. My response is well yes I am from Mass but I am also from the USA which is a free country and I can like who I want.
One reason I have chosen them as my team is that growing up I had a step father who liked the red sox and the new york giants so as most kids do they go against their step fathers and I began liking the yankees and the patriots/vikings. (if you must know I like the bulls in basketball the celtics are my second favorite team)
My question is why do people get pissed at me because I am a yankees fan. I think I am a pretty nice guy. I don't go looking for trouble but because I wear a yankees hat or t shirt people feel it is their responsibility to give me shit. whether I know them or not.
Example #1: I was sitting outside of the Gourmet Penguin(no longer there) waiting for a taxi and eating my breakfast. When out walks a redsox fan who states "what's up second place yankees fan" Now I believe that that particular year the redsox finished second and the yankees first in their division. I'm not saying that to put it in anyone's face but that guy who said that. I didn't know him and I was minding my own business trying to enjoy my breakfast. What an asshole he was.
Example #2: I walk into a store to purchase a pair of sunglasses. It was a specialty store which sold only sunglasses. So needless to say I was looking to purchase an expensive pair of sunglasses. As I walk in the guy working the counter states, "oh we don't serve yankees fans here" He was obviously joking but I walked out and didn't buy a pair of sunglasses from him. Now the guy was not the owner of the store and I'm sure the owner would not have liked what the clerk did but he did it and he lost a sale but it was only one but I had to make a stand.
What right do redsox fans have to be assholes especially to a guy who minds his own business most of the time.
My thing is now the redsox are clearly the better team I mean damn 2 world series in 4 years. We suck now we are in the basement and the redsox are probably going to win again now leave us yankee fans alone. I don't put anything in your face. I personally don't even use the 26 world series titles as an argument. You have to judge your team in the present and every redsox fan should know about that.
I just want to say you don't have to stop crying about how the yankees suck just stop crying to me. I know currently we suck.
Do I think we can come back of course I do it will be very tough with our pitching staff that we have and our bullpen. But I think we can atleast make it interesting again.
Well this is not to pose a fight but to ask to stop the fighting.
