Dear all especially Jakub,

Jos� Contreras will bring sorrow to Beantown tonight! We will triumph!! I am a triumphalist as you all know, and tonight as Jakub is mourning his Bostonian heores, I will be rejoicing in the glow of victory.

Remembering fondly one hundred years of triumph (1903-2003),

LatinTrad, Yankees fan

Of course, Latin Trad conveniently forgets that the Scankies just saw both Clemens and Wells get lit up for a host of runs by the White Sox.

As a wise sports fan once said, "A good baseball season is one where the Yankees don't buy themselves another World Series." :p

1932. :p :p :p :p :p

What about 1932? Maybe you remember it, but I sure wasn't around.

Ruth's "called shot" in Old Comiskey.

(The World series was played in Old Comiskey that year because the Cubs' stadium was too small.)

I was not alive either.

I'm just a baseball fan . . .

Yankees? Aren't they the best baseball team that money could buy? :p

AH! I see.

The lack of sportsmanship exhibited by the Yankees and their fans is a long-standing tradition.

I get it!

Yours,

Watch it there, my dear lawyer.

WINNING is also a long-standing Yankees tradition.

Dear L-T:

I echo the point made by DavidB above. It's no trick to win when you raid other teams for their best players, over-inflate their salaries and have a payroll that is equal to the GDP of a mid-sized EU country.

It's no wonder the Yankees and Man U have formed a marketing partnership. They're made of exactly the same cloth.

Yours,

Krylos, the Yankees had plenty of brutal years under Steinbrenner in the 80's.

Baseball has always worked that way.

Remember that you have to give credit to the Yankees farm system, too--their long-term stars like Andy Pettite, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada, etc., all came up with the team, from the minor-league system.

I sense that it is easy to be bitter if you're not a Yankees fan . . .

Amen and Alleluia, brother!

Go Tribe!

Dear L-T:

I'm not bitter. There's more important things to be bitter about - like recent Stanley Cups won by that team from "Moscow on Lake St. Clair" (that's Detroit for all of you geographically-challenged New Yorkers). :p

Yours,

kl

Brate Andriju!

If it's a choice between the Yankees, the Cardinals and the Tribe, give me the Tribe any day of the week and twice on Thursdays.

Yours,

I wonder if Jakub is going to find this thread, or if he is nervously sitting by his radio waiting for the game to start . . .

Dear Latin Trad:

I will say one last thing - and I truly mean this. I admire your confidence.

Whenever I talk trash before a sporting event wherein I have a rooting interest, my team gets its rear handed to it.

That having been said, Go BoSox!

Yours,
