You've nailed it Jen.  The truth!!  All of these people who claim to disagree with you are just not being honest with themselves.  Of course they wish their teams were as successful as the Yankees.  What fan wouldn't?  The bottom line is that money or not the players still have to get the job done on the field.  Georgie is always talking about the Yankees not winning a world series in this century.  The fact is the Tigers haven't won still 1984.  So what is your point Georgie?  The Tigers are nothing more than a one hit wonder.  Big deal, you won a pennant.  You are all missing the point.  It's all about the legend of the Yankees and how it overshadows all of baseball.  No matter what the other teams do, it's still all about the Yankees and how your teams compare.  Some of you just have to make your hateful comments to relieve your frustration.  I think that's pitiful.  Instead of being mad at the Yankees what don't you turn to your own teams ownership and ask them why they don't put a winner on the field.  And don't give me this money crap.  All franchises have the money to buy anyone they want.  It's a matter of stepping up to the plate and doing it.  Obviously they don't have the guts.

well, being a yankee fan of course  derek Jeter. He is loyal to his team, plays well and hard for us. and most of all is a prime example of a person who grew up in the dumps of the bronx and now is an extradinary athlete and person. i think about him everytime i play a sport

Mets....take a look at their roster yankees fans...just as good or better than yours..in my opinion better.

Well in response to the guy bringing up the Yankees....They are in the AL and have nothing to do with the Mets making the playoffs. Secondly, you have to remember that chemistry plays a big deal in winning baseball games. Just because you have Carlos Delgado, and Billy Wagner doesn't mean they'll stay healthy either. I think that Mets have a great chance to make it as at least a wildcard, but until they lose the division, you have to go with Atlanta. Best of luck to the Mets though.

You guys do not know what you are talking about mike is one of the best offensive cathchers the game has seen and he is a huge new york faveorite. And for you guys that said the dodgers should retire his # - Your Crazy- He was on the mets way longer he was much better on the mets and he Is one of the most loved Mets of all time behind Casey, Tom Seaver, and Gil Hodges. The mets should retire his #. \n   And i am saying this as a Huge Met Fan and all of the other big met fans i know and just plain old baseball  Fans Agree with me all teams from (Mets Biggest Rivals- the braves to the Royals- a team with no relation to the Mets what so ever.\n   And another thing there is no way he wont go into the hall of fame as anything but a met because he will ALWAYS be known as a met and for bringing that team back to life in 1998 after a huge decade of failure.

I'm a Royals fan, even though they are arguably the worse team in Major Leage Baseball right now.  I live in Kansas City and love supporting my home town team.  (I secretly like the Mariners too, but they're not doing quite so well lately, either.)

2000 Subway series..Yankees vs. Mets.  Outside of the metropolitan area, nobody cared.  The fan base was consolidated to 1 area and the rest of the country didn't care to watch it because their part of the nation wasn't represented.  The world series got very low ratings that year.

I would have to say Cubs fans. Anyone can jump on the Yankees bandwagon,but Cubs fans are loyal and stick with their team! Even though I'm a REDS fan its always great to watch a Cubs game!

I'm not a fan of theirs by any means, although I did root for them in their last two Super Bowls (against Carolina and Philly).\n\nBut I love watching teams that know how to play the game, and how to win. And New England has been my favorite team to watch over the last 5 years or so (except when my Steelers are on).\n\nI grew up liking the Mets, Steelers, Knicks and Lakers... but when these teams are not doing well, it's hard to watch them... you couldn't pay me to watch a Knick game nowadays...\n\n\nAs a Laker fan, I hated the Celtics during the '80s... but I LOVED to watch them play. I also loved watching the Bulls of the late 90s for the same reason...they knew how to play the game.\n\nI grew up as a Met fan who HATED the Yankees, but I loved watching the Yanks play during the late 90s... they were just so great!\n\nAnd, while I'm not a Pistons or Spurs "fan", I've enjoyed watching these two teams play over the last few years. \n\nSo, while I like WATCHING New England play over the last several years, I can't say I like them as a team, because I've never stopped rooting for the Steelers. \n\nPlus, in watching Tom Brady, we're watching someone who's already better than Farve or Elway ever were.

Yankees fans arent the rudest, they're the stupidest.\n\nRed Sox fans, well, no.  I went to a Red Sox/Angels game last year when I was in Boston, my friend and I went in our Tom Glavine and Carlos Beltran Mets jeresys and we got nothing but love from Red Sox fans.\n\nRudest fans are by far in Philadelphia.

The NY Yankees, because they have the most World Series titles (26), and the most WS appearances (39). Overall, they are just a great baseball team! They have had some of the best players in all of baseball! Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle.....the list goes on! Also, because of the team they have NOW! Alex Rodoriguez (the AL MVP 2005!), Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Hideki Matsui, and Mariano Rivera! Also, because they are the most clean cut team! The Red Sox are too hairy, smelly, and shabby to be considered a good team! Maybe if they all got haircuts, and dropped a few pounds...Ya know? The Yankees are fit, and in shape. They are my favorite team, and they always will be!

New York Yankees\nWhy?\nWhen I was a kid, my dad loved the Oakland A's. He always brought us to the Coliseum for games vs. the Yankees 'cause my mom is from the east coast. She hates Baseball so she never went with us but she bought my sister and I Yankee stuff to wear to piss off my dad. As I got older, and began playing baseball and understanding it more, I became a Di HARD, TRUE BLUE Yankee fan. The Yanks RULE. My dad still can't stand it and my little sis became a Mariners fan when she moved to Seattle. I now live in Alaska where Yankee fans are hard to come by. SOX SUCK!!!!!!

It's kind of like baseball in America.  Most everyone hates the New York Yankees even though they're the most decorated team in baseball history.  (Obviously they do have fans, but many are considered bandwagon jumpers and many don't acutally live in NYC) We just can't stand the way they are able to "steal" players who will "sell out" for the very large amounts of money that the Yankees can offer and no other team can match.  I'd say it's the same with Man U at least.  I don't know about Liverpool or Arsenal, but seeing as I've heard of both of them, and I'm neither English nor a faithful follower of the Premier League or Soccer in general, it must be the same thing.

you are a traitor.. you can't be fan of both teams.. that's like being a fan of Yankees and the Mets. Of course, if one loses and the other survives to win the championships, you can be fan of that team temporarily and then switch back to the team you were routing for.
