Opening Day at Fenway...

The cold, rainy Oregononian weather isn't the only thing that made it a long winter. Baseball season is FINALLY here and my beloved Boston Red Sox have come out of hibernation with a bang. Red Sox 7, Rangers 3. Whoa-Hoa! Let's go Red Sox, let's go! *stomp, stomp*

The only thing that could steal away my joy is watching the Yankees beat the A's 15-2. Greedy twits! I honestly cannot tell you which drives my addiction to baseball more...my love of the Red Sox or my absolute loathing of the Yankees. Why, you ask? Allow me to ellaborate...

The Top 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Hate the Yankees...

1.) They are bent on world domination and the hostile takeover of baseball.
2.) They spent $92 million dollars to buy the 1999 World Series.
3.) Derek Jeter and A-Rod. (self-explanatory)
4.) Joe Torre. (Seriously...who picks their nose this much? And on national television, nonetheless? Somebody needs to introduce the dude to a kleenex!)
5.) George Steinbrenner. (He has the warmth of Pat Buchanan, the patience of Ross Perot, and the credibility of O.J. Simpson.)
6.) Every third person you meet is a Yankees fan and every other Yankees fan you meet knows nothing about the team.
7.) Their fans have the nerve to whine about only winning the World Series 26 times.
8.) According to the Barnhardt Dictionary of Etymology, the word Yankee is a word of contempt. Isn't that intelligent? It'd be like having the Atlanta Rednecks or the LA Crackheads.
9.) Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Brad Pitt to get the girl or Bill Gates to win the lottery.
10.) Basically...it's the right thing to do.

This is just common sense folks...

FYI - These are misc. funny statements I've found over time and have put together in a list format...only a couple of these are my original ideas. So...this is my attempt to give credit to all those brilliant thinkers out there ...I don't know who you are, but kuddos to you all!!
