Some bloggers just don't know how to act. This is my official response to Bob Almighty's comment from my last post, which read:
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and yes to answer the big question the Red Sox still suck.
I realize that I have a lot of misguided New Yorkers who might read my blog, but let me clarify an important point that Bob has confused.
Yankees Suck!

Like I said, it's not about baseball. New York, you think you're so great down there with your millions of people, with your tall buildings, with your sand-wich-es, with your Wall Street and Broadway and 5th Avenue, China Town and Little Italy, but you're not so special. We have tall buildings too, we have lobster rolls, we have a financial district and a theater district just like you, we have Newbury Street, our very own China Town, and the North End. Does a Green Monster have your back in Yankees Stadium? And have you ever had a tea party? Do you have New Kids on the Block? Do you have David E. Kelly?! Yeah, no, I didn't think so.
But I can understand a New Yorker who's a Yankees fan. It would be like someone born into the Jehovah's Witnesses, it's not your fault that your people are annoying. What I think is pathetic is when someone from Connecticut (Bob Almighty), or New Jersey (my dad), or God forbid BOSTON (my best friend's sister's boyfriend) can't find a better team to rout for.
(Unfortunately I couldn't find the clip where NOMAAAAAH guest starred on a Sully & Denise sketch, so we're stuck with Britney).
Note: Things have been kind of crazy with the move and the job search. Blogs will continue, but not with the same regularity until I have more to talk about.

It's not about baseball, I don't even like baseball. It's about pride. It's about how if you go to a Dropkick Murphys concert in Boston instead of just screaming for an encore the audience will bust into a chant of "YAN-KEES-SUCK! YANK-EES-SUCK!" It's about principles. It's about how the agents of players who weren't going to be traded or who were promised to the Red Sox disappear into back rooms with Steinbrenner's people and suddenly are traded to the Yankees. It's about waiting till a Sox player makes it big, and then sucking him into the Yankees just as he's peaking. It started with Babe Ruth, almost 100 years ago, and then Clemens (who's still going strong thanks to *ehem* the wonders of modern medicine), A-rod, and others I can't remember right now because I don't really follow baseball. It's about how the Yankees always blow the first half of the season because their in-season doping regimen hasn't kicked in yet, and then they overtake the Red Socks come playoff time because the Red Sox are clean and play every game with a shining halo over their head. Yeah, I said it!

OK, I get it.
Ah, the resolution on my laptop screen isn't real good but I swear I say a nip-slip on that video. What a good laugh.
Look at it this way you always have football ( my Giants suck...but they're my giants damn it!) REAL FOOTBALL ( Red Bull NY are a bunch of sell outs)and the NBA ( Celtics which up until two months ago had one of Angry's classmates Ryan Gomes as a Starter.) but I'm sorry any team that blows a 14 1/2 game lead sucks just about as bad as a team that was 2 outs away from the World series and then decided to start a 4 game slide. ...oh crap that was my team...curse you Dave Roberts..curse you and Big Papi!
I think any readership that is not from the New York/ Jersey City Metropolitian aera has just canceled reader ship...except for us wise crackers in Southern CT we like to keep CT a battle ground.
Ha this was funny! I had some sort of smartass comment when i read it at work, but since I can't play with Blogger...oh well.
Gomes is now with the Timberwolves. Tear.
Amen sistah. Glad to see you are back in Red Sox Nation. That whole Nomahh thing made me bullshit. :)
OK, I'll bite. I'm from New York, we bite.
Yes, the Yankees suck, but not as badly as the Mets. We all know it, though some are in denial.
Love,
Cranky.
