You mean "Soon to be third place chicago White Sox fan"

He who laughs last, laughs best.

I'd rather see the Tigers win than either the Yankees, Red Sox, or Cubs.

WOW!

Are there other teams out there besides [size=20]THE NEW YORK YANKEES[/size] ... I don't think so!

No other team has done so well in the history of American (and I guess Canadian) Baseball.

ALL the rest is just sand lot stuff.

Please Spa-gods, don't make us suffer through more Yankeeism.  ESPN has done enough damage already.

Most people can't name all the baseball teams but almost everyone will be able to name the Yankees.  Baseball fans will hate the Yankees. The Yankees are mentioned with love and hate.

Not too shabby of a reputation ... there are teams that have moved to new locations and the Yankees are still in the Bronx!

BTW, I'm not a die hard fan but am a New Yorker ... I couldn't care less what any team does ... It's just a business.

As a business, the Yankees have the most recognised name in the world ... Show someone a hot tub, they may call it a Jacuzzi!

Vinny,  I hope you know I'm just poking fun at the 'Bronx Bombers'. You're right, the Yankee are one of the most recognized single named entities ever. (Yankees, Elvis, 'Babe')
I moved from Illinois to Georgia then South Carolina years ago, so I'm a Dam*ed Yankee.

Down here in the 'south' the difference between a yankee and a dam*ed yankee is that a yankee goes back north while a dam*ed yankee stays.

Don't even start on the Civil War or as some of my southern friends call it, ' The War of Northern Aggression'.  

[Vinny]

Hey, not a problem, as a matter of fact I was being "in your face" about it because of the hatred that the name brings!  

The only teams that I cheer for are my boys' teams. Whenever they play sports - I'm there for them!

I kind of chuckle about people who are so passionate about "their" teams - they don't own them, don't have a family member on them and no matter how good or bad their team does, they have to defend them to the death ... kind of like their spa brand! (OK, I'm guilty there as well!!!)

Ruby and hymbaw, do you have any idea how terrible crow tastes?  I'm having some now.

By the end of the season you two will need a lot of water to choke some down.

Vinny, I'm a fan too. Not a fanatic.  When my kids were young enough to participate in rec-league, jr. high and high school sports DW and I were there through rain, sleet, heat,  dark of night.

Now that baseball talk has ran its course....Have the Vikings planned any team boat outings for this season?

[In Canada eh]

GOOOOO LIONS!!!!

That doesn't even sound right does it?

Good to see another sucker for punishment

We are right across the river from you,  went to a couple of games last year,  I wish the team was as good as the stadium
