We always have fun when the Yankees lose, and if you haven't noticed, Yankees fans here started with the "Boston sucks" signatures last week, so we are just having some fun back at them. Believe me, I'm not happy with the Sox 3rd place finish at all, but it seems almost better than having double the payroll and winning just one playoff game.

You are not the only one that notices this trend Grote. Most of these "yankee haters" talk about the Yankees more than they do about their "favorite" teams. Why? Beats me.

Astute observation there, Einstein. Though I've been a Mets fan since Jerry Grote (hence the user name) was behind the plate, so, no, I'm not a johnny-come-lately as you so erroneously suggest.
At least the Yanks made the playoffs. Your team finished in THIRD place behind the freakin' Blue Jays, even with the #2 payroll in all of baseball, so please, don't be whining about the payroll issue, it just rings hollow.

Sorry - I edited my post.
But, was this really that much better? $90 million more, all to win one lousy playoff game? I am content in knowing that the Sox will be better in 2007, and the way the Yanks look today, they are clearly headed in the other direction.
You may be right there. If only the Yanks could jettison Pavano, Wright, Johnson & A-Rod...

Gimme a freakin break, you failed to notice as soon as the Yanks made the playoffs and clinched the division all the Yankee fans started with their "Yuck Boston" type crap for icons on their profiles so dont even go there my friend. And Yes I do hate the Yankees almost as much as I love the Sox, so what? You dont know anything about being a Red Sox fan so deal with it. As far as myself I have been a pretty good sport about the Sox losing out to the hated Yanks so Im entitled to a little ribbing.
<< <i>The Yankees losing in the first round of the playoffs ONCE AGAIN PROVES that money doesnt guarantee you to win. So are all of the Yankees haters going to continue using this "crutch" in their arguements year after year? Even though it holds no water of course they will because they have no other way to bash the Yankees. Always a last resort, eh boys? >>
Right. Spend MORE money next year and lose again and I wont say a thing about payroll.

whah whah whah "you don't what its like to be a red sox fan". For months before the season started certain "boston" fans were talking up the Yankees in nonsportmanlike banter. Those same Sox fans, as well as some Yankee haters continued to talk up the Yankees "demise" until the 5 game series sweep in Fenway. Then, until the Yankees lost in this ALDS, most had shut their yaps.

Ok? I guess it's "so horrible" to go to the playoffs every year, and only have 4 rings since 1996 to show for it. Yet, you don't seem to get in a huff over a team you only began cheering for when it had stars, and that same franchise has yet to produce even a championship caliber team. Yet, you complain about the Yankees.

At what point do yankee fans demand a change in the way the team is put together? or are you happy 'just being here' in the playoffs?

I do enjoy the Yankees past successes but certainly not WHY I am a fan. I was born into a family of Yankees fans. A strong following that I adopted into my own life and was strengthened when I was able to watch the Yanks beat the Dodgers in the 77 World Series.
If you live anywhere BUT Washington, especially if you live in a state that has teams, somewhere along the line you became a bandwagon fan when the team was doing well. Maybe the love of a west coast team in the playoffs with an east coast team? Is that were the hate stems from? Yes, you would be a bandwagoner and have NO idea what being a fan is...especially a fan of baseball over anything else.
Axhole, it almost sounds to me that you are a fan of the Mariners and dont care if they win? You would like it but it doesnt matter? Then you are probably the ONLY person who is a fan of any team who doesnt care if their team wins or not. Ridiculous and more clearly, BULL$HIT.
And once again it is proven that you can buy a World Series win. So why care if the Yanks dump millions into payroll? Yes, I know..it's an easy crutch so why not use it. I'll tell you why...it has proven to be there is NO truth to it!

You're a fuging idiot who can't read the most BASIC of sentences. You're a fuging idiot who can't understand what I said. I love my team; unlike YOU who is simply in love with the world series trophies, dipchit.

Really? You're going to sit there and say that a high payroll doesn't equate to playoff appearances? You're even more of an idiot than I first suspected (and that's saying something, because I thought you were an idiot of EPIC proportions).

Remember, you Yankee fans claim to be the "biggest team in professional sports", and because of all the hype that surrounds your team, you naturally are going to have more people rooting against you. It doesn't mean anything other than a lot of MLB fans like to see the Yankees lose, because of what they represent.
he likes to say he's a fan of the mets, when, in reality, he'll kneel for whatever team's in first place. First it was the yankmees, then, when that bandwagon collapsed, he says he's firmly back on the mets bandwagon.
