The Yankee Fan Worm Has Turned In Boston

Isn't it amazing how the worm has turned with Yankee fans? As long as I could remember, whether listening to a caller on the radio, or discussing Red Sox/Yankees with friends and co-workers, it seemed that the Yankee fan was always the erudite participant in the conversation – Frank from Gloucester and the old Mustard and Johnson Yankee Talk callers aside.

At some point late last year, things started to change. Suddenly, Yankee fans started to sound like liberals trying to argue their cause. They spout off baseless propaganda, and when confronted with facts and reality, they will duck questions, change arguments and personally attack either you or members of the Red Sox organization. They even have a Yankee fan equivalent to screaming Halliburton! When all else fails, they resort to ‘Twenty-Six Championships!”

I’m loving it all. My hope for tonight is that Sabathia the Hut pitches five no-hit innings, but the Red Sox still win a rain-shortened, 1-0 game after A-Rod boots a ball in the bottom of the fifth leading to an unearned run. Hank Steinbrenner’s head would spontaneously explode. It would be sweepalicious.

Ceterum , exsisto quietis Iggy!
