Lauren: Seems so silly though for them to feel misery when truthfully they’re not even actually involved. Proves too that people really want the last word – no matter how thoughtless it makes them look.

Linda: Thank you! I’m a big believer in karma – perhaps that’s why their teams often lose – never providing happiness where it’s so sorely needed.

NP: The Brooklyn Dodgers - Yankees rivalry was fueled further IMHO with the fact that they became such natural rivals in the 40’s and 50’s as both teams were good at the same time and met often in the World Series. Must agree too with the mindful benefits of neutrality – although, truth be told I’ve never been able to fulfill it in my following of sports! I know I’ll be in a lousy mood tonight if the Giants play poorly again this afternoon.

I'm old. When I was a kid the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn. Imagine the rivalry that develops when the top teams in both leagues are situated in the same city. Dodger and Yankee fans couldn't be in the same room without a brawl ensuing. Of course the Yankees invariably wound up the victors which gave every Dodger fan (including my two older brothers) a loser's complex for life. I learned early to remain neutral, if not indifferent, to all such passions for my own dear sanity and peace of mind.

I know that there are rabid fans out there and I am not so sure as to why their anger(jealous) comes out in such a fashion. It is their karma to deal with. Enjoy your victory with all of the gusto you can muster and wave it here... let them eat cake!

oh yeah, Congrats on your victory!!

I guess you proved that misery loves company since all the Yankee haters hang out in a forum to bitch to one another. Geez. Don't they have any thing better to do? I guess a shrink would call it transference.

Ann: Yes, they are oddly proud all the time aren’t they? Really would love to know who they see in the mirror every morning though – because that person must look way better than the one we have to look at.

C: Glad you did! And thanks too! I do get the whole “your team sucks” when it’s in regards to a natural rivalry such as Red Sox-Yankees – it’s the best rivalry and most venomous one in sports, plus both teams have been consistently good for most of the past 35 seasons or so. I think it’s more annoying for me to get it from a Mets fan – because I never got the whole cross-town jealousy thing.

MOB: You’re right.

Every team has the opportunity to play on the same “field” – the Yankees just make the most of what they have. Considering how many teams have benefited from the Yankees through revenue sharing, luxury tax payments and the like – it’s just so frustrating to hear how a championship was “bought” by the fans of the teams who gladly took the Yankees money.

It’s nice to be happy for this!

Opinions are like assholes, yup we all have one. Either you are a Yankee fan or a Yankee hater. No team I know of can cause such a extreme fan base on either side. Yeah sure we 'bought" the championship, just like we bought the championship for the last nine years, NOT.

What are we not suppose to spend the money available to get the best players that we can. New York is not Oshkosh, so therefore we do have a great revenue stream. But money in and of itself cannot buy a world title, except maybe in boxing.

We are the champions period. Been a Yankee fan with Horace Clark and Roy White and on and on also. But we didn't abandon ship when they sucked. Hey I have also been a Cheesehead all my life and haven't had a great many seasons to be happy over.

So I am happy and dancing and yes I am a Yankee FaN!

You know I simply had to comment! I tried not to. I did!

As a life-long Red Sox fan, "Yankees Suck" is not an opinion to me, just a statement of an long held and accepted fact in my life. From my perspective, they do, in fact, suck.

That said, there are no other teams that I would love to see at Fenway as much as the Yankees and I really enjoy hating them so.

I honestly feel that the Yankees/Sox rivalry greatly enhances the game for me. And if they Yankees weren't as good as they are, they probably wouldn't 'suck' so much.

So Congratulations on your team winning the World Series.

Sincerely, a Yankee-hating, die-hard, Sox fan.

No, seriously, Congrats!

I don't follow sports much so I don't know a whole lot about that. I have noticed that fans seem to take it way to seriously though. Now assholes? I know about them...lol Most of them are all proud of it too
