never will I root for the red sox, nor will I ever not believe in the Yankees. BTW, the mayor of NYC is Michael Bloomburg, not David. Long live the evil empre

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day,
And when it comes to my last cast, I most humbly pray,
When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,
That in His mercy I be judged, as big enough to keep.

Geez win one WS and yall think your the straw that stirs the drink. Call me back when the Red Sox have won 26 then we will talk. Let's see they are 20 behind, have won 1 in the past 86 years so it should be the year 3724 before you come lookin for me and that would be assuming the Yankees wont win for the next 1720 years.

Go Yankee's

You guys are still talking about the Series??


What's worse? Not winning for 86 years, or winning ONCE in 87 years?

I LOVE that quote!! Here's some simple math.....how many times did the Red Sox win the world series in my grandfathers lifetime (He was 90) and how many did the YANKEES win in MY lifetime (30)? Pretty easy to see who's the team!

Non Red Sox will never know why a guy would take the time and trouble to write up a form like that.

The inferiority complex should be gone by now.

You're joking right? The RedSox to Yankee conversion form has been floating around for years. Please try and turn your negagtive energy into postive and help some of the tri-state area teams They need the help. Except for Buffalo.

Floating around for years?? A-Rod just got here this year.

Come on...how long did it take you to type that thing up?

Buffalo? I took you for a Bills fan. That's another team with a long tradition of not winning.

Nah, you're confused.

The form was floating around for a couple of years in the form of disgruntled Red Sox fans look to change allegiances.

I can't type for nuthin.

I ain't no Bill fan, Pats all the way

Smile Yankee humor

Johnny was in his 4th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up: fireman, policeman, salesman, etc...

Johnny was being quiet so the teacher asked him about his father. "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go out to the alley with some guy and make love with him for money."

The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, sent the other children to work on some coloring, and took Little Johnny aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"

"No," said Johnny, "He plays for the Yankees, but I was too embarrassed to say so.
