Since I know that no one who posts here has any time for the Yankees, I feel safe posting this: http://snurl.com/2pzl

Being made into chopped liver i can take, but that remark is a total dis! just cause i don't clutter the board with stupid sport post, and limit myself to food post, doesn't mean i am not a yankee fan! tsk, tsk!
sure they lost last night, but they lost one at home to those boston folk, who got to thinking that they were going to win... and while past performance is no indication of future results, i's sooner bet money on the yanks than some fishes...
i'm really not at all angry, i am a little hurt, i don't crow about the yanks (there is no need to!) but i am a yankee fan!

Well, thanks, helen. You weren't the catch I expected, but at least someone took the bait.

And just whom were you expecting, Max, us mice? Hmmmm?  Marlins should avoid swimming in shark-infested waters.

Actually, I posted it because it was less about who was going to win, and more about the way Marlins fans are viewed, which has been obvious even way up here. I know of rabid Yankees fans who feel that the Cubs "deserved" to be in the World Series, and certainly mainstream mdeia cooverage has been dismissive of the Marlins and their fans. I read the following recently: In reply to:
Damned upstart Marlins have no tradition or real fan base to speak of (especially after the dismantling of their first Championship team the year after they won). Everyone (except for Jeb Bush) wanted to see the Cubbies in the Series. It's a shame.
and it seemed to encapsulate precisely the attitude that Barry was addressing. It was a humorous article that showed the other point of view, one not being given much, if any, credence.
Since everything he wrote fits with what I've read from Yankees fans, I both laughed while reading his article, and decided to make sure that Jeb and Dave aren't alone in supporting the Marlins.

Jeb and Dave aren't alone in supporting the Marlins.No worries, Max, I'm there with ya... Having a baseball-playing partner means I've developed an interest in this, and I agree about how the Marlins (& fans) seem to be being treated. (Not that I want a political debate with Yankee supporters or anything, it's not like I really care.) I've always been an underdog supporter - unless, of course, it's my team that's the overdog!! 
Go Marlins!
