I'll still be a Yankees fan.
But over the last 7 or 8 years I've become more of a fan of the Royals and Pirates.

Not because they're winning.
I've been following them since before Huntington rebuilt the Pirates and before the Royals got back into the playoffs.

But rather because these smaller teams have personalities.
The Yankees built an empire that's out of date in my view.
This corporate bland winning machine is so boring.

I finally shook loose from the emotional chains of blind and fierce childhood attachment and stopped giving a fukk about this team a few years ago, and haven't looked back. I enjoy baseball the same way I do basketball now - love the sport objectively, track interesting players and teams as much as I can. All I can do with the Yankees is savor my memories from the 80s and 90s. I mean, fukk, even White Jesus trying to make my real life ignore list:

I can't believe he's pulling that shyt with the Marlins. I can't believe the Marlins are allowing him to pull it. What a joke.

In one way we all know exactly what they're trying to say. That organization's mentality is a disgrace to human progress.

But to be fair, Russell Wilson is living one great life right now. They'd probably be better off using what he's accomplished as an example.

Maybe they should act like Brian Cashmen.

You know the Yankee GM, who cheated on his wife with an employee, gave her money to get an abortion, then tried to get her committed to a mental institution. :leon:

Maybe that's the right way huh:wtb:

:whew: that's HOH
