To start - Boston, Philly, Chicago, San Fran, and especially LA all have huge population bases. So this is not an excuse. Next time you are at work, ask a random fellow employee when they were last at a local ballgame. I know for the Yanks it is a high response. I know for LA it is low.

When you travel around the world, even some random place, what do you see? Yankees caps (and now Red Sox). Hmmm. I guess this is because they suck so bad.

In your TV market, does your team have its own channel? Well shucks, Steinbrunner was the first guy to set up his own baseball network and it is now equal to almost half the value of the team. What an idiot.

So basically selling your team to a large market, having loyal fans and winning are bad. Go cry on someone elses pillow.

I take it as a sign of respect, GH....I'll bet that most none-Romans wrote posts, ranting about that Empire, of yore; think-bubbles of hatred toward the Brit "Commonwealth" could be seen floating about during its glory years; there have been mutterings of discontent heard about the American international conglomerate of today...man, it's tough at the top!.....

no BOSTON and Philly are worse.

I LOVE sports radio and you would think boson was the best team ever to play the sport... and philly fans act like they are the best in the NL... try making it to whe WS in the last 20+ years then brag... You hear me saying my Braves are better than you, NO. because they are not in 1st place and hav not won.

But I do hate th yankees and it give me great pleasure to watch them suffer as we did in the 90's BECAUSE of your team :p

Well said. If the Yankees weren't so good nobody would even care about them. There's not to many people out their who hate Pittsburgh. I can understand how listening to people constantly bash your team can be annoying but it's better than not talking about them at all. I hate the Cubs because they are in 1st place and constantly kicking our asses. Before Milwaukee went to the national league I hated the White Sox. I hate all the Chicago teams. It's the regional rivalry. If your a Packer fan you hate Bears, If your a Cubs fan you hate St. Louis, If your a Yankee fan you hate the Sox. Thats just how it goes.

Long live Rome and Italy!

my hatred for the Yankees started at birth.

Same here Cartman
