The above might be an expected response. However, I respect the Yankees with their rich (emphasis on spending ability
) baseball history. You can't help but enjoy players like Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Yogi, Munson...the list goes on and on. Although I'm primarly a Red Sox fan, I don't hate the Yankees or their fans. Life's too short for that. Those fans love baseball. That's good enough for me. I'm a fan of the game. The Sox Yankees rivalry should be intense for the next decade...and that's great for baseball. I enjoy the good natured ribbing between Sox and Yankee fans. I don't take it seriously. I'm not a member of the Red Sox. I don't say "we" when referring to the team as if I'm somehow connected to their fortunes. So there's no "envy" here, or disrespect intended. Given the context of this thread, "Wankees" just seemed appropriate. I hope the Yankees do well this year. With the dismantling of the Orioles and Blue Jays, it seems like the pinstripers have got an excellent shot at second place.
BELOW: Sox, Dodgers, Braves.
